What search words for people in the UK?

[dougie]

Does anyone know if there's some way of finding out what search words people in the UK use?

All of my clients come from the UK and obviously some of the
terminology is different.

Any help appreciated.

Any ideas?

Many thanks for that, very much appreciated.

One thing, why do they not include plurals in the results?

There were loads more examples of this, but I just picked 2 of them.

i.e. No shows for apartments, but plenty for apartment, no shows for holidays, but loads for holiday?

Any ideas?

One thing, why do they not include plurals in the results?

Overture counts singular and plural words as one word in their search term results. To complicate things further they also include some related words through their 'match driver' technology.

If you sign up for an Espotting account you can also use their keyword tool of actual searches.

not sure if you just picked those two words at random but ...

no-one in england would look for an apartment we look for flats.

likewise we go on holiday we don't really use the plural version holidays

(the christmas new year break is not known as the holidays here)

According to the overture tool, uk people do look for apartments.

2 more examples, loads of car, no cars, loads of flat, but no flats?

Does anyone know of any other free tool that tells you what search words and terms the UK people search on? Including plurals?

it must be true then.

Remember, that is a suggestion tool and the more you hone the terms to your target market the better qualified visitors you're likeley to get.
