Best Practices
- Be specific with topics - "AI for small business accounting" beats "AI"
- Choose relevant platforms - Where your audience actually consumes content
- Analyze intent carefully - Match your content to what users want

- Update regularly - Trends change; research monthly for active topics
Limitations
- Real-time data requires API access to platforms (not included in skill)
- Some platforms limit data access (e.g., X API changes)
- Search volume estimates are approximations
