The Search Intent column tells us the likely purpose for the search. This data is taken from the Semrush Keyword Magic Tool.

The four types of search intent in Semrush are:

• Navigational: The searcher wants to find a specific website or web page.
• Informational: The searcher would like to learn more about something.
• Commercial: Indicates that the searcher is researching a product, service, or brand.
• Transactional: Indicates that the searcher is ready to make a purchase.

It's notable that many of the top searches on Google are brands like YouTube, Amazon, and NFL. In other words, the majority of searches in the top 100 are navigational or informational.

These kinds of keywords attract millions of searches per month.

But ranking for the top Google searches is impossible for most brands. There is simply too much competition.

Semrush calculates competition using a Keyword Difficulty score. It’s a 0-100 metric showing how tough it is to rank in Google’s top 10 for any keyword, based on factors like backlinks and domain authority. 

The 6 levels of of keyword difficulty in Semrush are:

• 0-14 = Very easy. It’s possible to rank new pages quickly with minimal effort. 
• 15-29 = Easy. Some competition but ranking is possible with quality intent-focused content. 
• 30-49 = Possible. More competitive and requires quality, highly optimized, and well-structured content to rank.
• 50-69 = Difficult. Strong content and quality backlinks are essential to rank and see traffic.
• 70-84 = Hard. Highly competitive keywords that require extensive effort, many quality backlinks, and unique content to rank. 
• 85-100 = Very hard. Elite SEO, link building, and promotion are needed to rank. Top searches like YouTube, Amazon, and NFL fall into this difficulty level. 

That's why marketers look for low-competition keywords that are easier to rank for.

What are the top searches on Google?

As of April 2025, the most searched thing on Google is YouTube. 

The next most popular searches are Amazon, Facebook, Eight Sleep, Weather, Google, and Gmail.

Before moving on to our list of top global searches below, it’s worth quickly explaining what “search volume” means. 

Search volume is the average number of people that search for a term in a given month. For example, a search volume of "500" means that a specific keyword is searched around 500 times each month.

Different platforms measure search volume in different ways. But most (including Semrush, the platform we used to generate this list) calculate search volume as a rolling 12-month average.

This helps even out seasonal spikes for terms (like "Halloween costume"), which may get 90% of its search volume in October.

With that, let’s dive into the most popular Google searches worldwide.

Conclusion

This concludes our list of the top 100 keywords searched globally and in the US.

There's a common theme among many of the most popular Google searches: most tend to be fairly tech-related (YouTube, Twitch, Netflix, etc.). 

Additionally, most are so-called “navigational” searches that are meant to help someone find a specific website (Yahoo, eBay, etc.).

This list will continue to be updated on a monthly basis to include updated data and potentially new keywords.
