Coverage vs search

“AI agents” · Google Trends

Covered and searched

covered and searched together — reporting and search volume are high on both counts, so the coverage is not ahead of or behind the looking.

coverage rank1/11by story count

Google Trends returns a 0-100 index relative to the other terms in the same request, so every batch carries a shared anchor term and is rescaled against it. Without that, a term topping a weak batch would outrank a genuinely larger one from a strong batch, and the error would be invisible.
