Viewing MSV Data
Each MSV choice set in your project is selectable in the Keyword Census
In reporting screens and content briefs, a pulldown choice at the top right allows to select between various MSV viewing choices for the screen.
Should You Use Multiple MSV Data Points?
More data points can be useful, but it also means more data to manage and keep up. Each time a keyword is added, the corresponding MSV data is needed. This is super simple if using one single MSV value. It becomes more of a factor when using multiple.
The choice is yours. The large majority of projects end up using one primary MSV choice.
Which Data Source Should I Use?
Each data source seems to have some keyword phrases that have MSV data or show a zero value. Comparing different sources will demonstrate the amount of dissonance between commonly used MSV data sources. All things being equal, we recommend defaulting to Google MSV, as its data is accessible through many other keyword research tools.
