ABOUT EXPLODING TOPICS

Exploding Topics answers a different question from a keyword tool: not how much volume a term has now, but whether it is about to have any. Plan names are verified from the vendor pricing page - Entrepreneur, Investor and Business - but the prices render client-side and were not present in the fetched markup, so no figures are recorded. This record is flagged needs_review until the tier prices are confirmed.

OVERVIEW

Who is it for?
Founders, marketers, investors and content teams looking for demand before it is obvious and competitive.
Problem
By the time a topic shows meaningful search volume in a keyword tool, the opportunity has usually been taken.
Solution
Exploding Topics tracks mentions across the web rather than search volume alone and applies machine learning to project which topics are about to grow, with a Trending Products database and category exploration on the Pro tiers.
What makes it unique
Forecasting rather than reporting - the product's claim is identifying a topic 12 or more months before it goes mainstream, which is a different job from measuring what already has volume.
