How to read these numbers

They're Google's own estimates from Google Ads Keyword Planner, which Google rounds. I use a 12 month average so seasonal peaks don't skew anything.

They count searches, not people. One person might search three times before booking, so treat them as a measure of demand rather than a head count.

They don't include every way someone could search, so the real totals are higher. They're best used to compare treatments and towns with each other.
