Top 914 Technology Keywords
Monthly search volume, CPC, competition and a 12-month trend for 914 technology keywords, updated October 2026.
The technology list is the widest on the site: devices, software, companies, emerging topics (AI, blockchain, 5G) and the general-interest terms people search for news. It is a starting map for a tech publisher; narrower lists like computer, mobile and cyber security sit under it.
The list holds 914 keywords with a combined 187,858,390 searches a month. The most searched are artificial general intelligence (30,400,000), c (16,600,000), go (9,140,000), asic (6,120,000), streaming services (5,000,000), https (4,090,000), laptops (4,090,000), python (4,090,000), certificate authorities (3,350,000) and domain name system (3,350,000).
Advertisers pay most for digital asset management ($13.13 a click), telepresence ($9.69 a click), payroll systems ($8.01 a click), data masking ($6.96 a click) and distributed ledger ($6.90 a click). 27% of the keywords in the list cost $1 or more a click, which marks the commercial end of the niche.
Demand is steady through the year: across the list, the busiest and quietest months are within 1.1x of each other. 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.
