Top 1,431 Geography Keywords
Monthly search volume, CPC, competition and a 12-month trend for 1,431 geography keywords, updated October 2026.
Geography keywords are places and facts: countries, capitals, maps, continents, quizzes and the vocabulary of physical geography. The volume is enormous because every place name is a search; CPCs are low except around travel.
The list holds 1,431 keywords with a combined 801,825,420 searches a month. The most searched are weather (506,000,000), maps (124,000,000), temperature (6,120,000), city (4,090,000), compass (4,090,000), beaches (3,350,000), earthquakes (3,350,000), atlas (2,740,000), strait of hormuz (2,740,000) and nato (2,240,000).
Advertisers pay most for indigenous rights ($15.50 a click), food sovereignty ($10.92 a click), data provenance ($10.62 a click), social movements ($7.75 a click) and biodiversity hotspots ($7.20 a click). 16% of the keywords in the list cost $1 or more a click, which marks the commercial end of the niche.
The niche is seasonal: across the list, the busiest month carries 1.5 times the searches of the quietest. The trend column shows each keyword's own twelve months.
Volumes are global monthly averages from Google; CPC is the top-of-page bid in US dollars; competition runs from 0 (few advertisers) to 1 (many). Last refreshed October 2026. For any other keyword, the free search volume checker gives the same numbers, and the Keywords Everywhere extension shows them inside Google as you search.
