How the data is compiled
Methodology & refresh cadence
Every keyword in this dataset is pulled from Ahrefs' live search database, filtered for Alberta geographic intent, then manually organized by industry.
Some cells are intentionally left blank. When Ahrefs does not surface a reliable estimate for a specific keyword (usually low-volume or brand-new terms), we preserve the empty cell rather than substitute a value. Blanks represent "unknown", not "zero".
