Searches a month is the Pulse's reading now, in Google Ads' scale for the US; cost per click and ranking difficulty are Google Ads keyword estimates.
Searches rise and fall with the season every year, peaking in November, so a growth window's percentage says more about where in the season it starts and ends than about the trend; compare the same weeks year on year.
