Technical Definition
Seasonality is predictable search volume fluctuation over time. Examples: 'Halloween costumes' peaks in October, 'tax software' peaks in early year. Affects content timing, traffic expectations, and competitive dynamics. Prepare seasonal content ahead of peak. Use Google Trends to identify patterns. Some industries have multiple or no seasonal patterns.
Simple Explanation (ELI13)
Seasonality is how search interest changes predictably throughout the year. 'Christmas gifts' obviously peaks in December. Planning for seasonality means creating content before the peak so it has time to rank. Google Trends helps you see when interest rises and falls for your topics.
