What This Skill Does

The google-trends skill provides OpenClaw AI with the ability to monitor, analyze, and compare search trends directly from Google. By leveraging RSS feeds and structured URL parameters, the skill enables users to stay informed about real-time search activity, compare interest in various topics across different geographic regions, and identify emerging patterns. Whether you are performing global market research or tracking niche interest, this tool bridges the gap between raw web search data and actionable intelligence.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw management utility. Run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/satnamra/google-trends

This will download the necessary scripts and register the skill within your agent's capability set.

Use Cases

This skill is highly versatile for professionals focused on growth and content strategy.

1. Market Research: Quickly identify if a new product or industry topic is gaining traction in specific regions like the US, Germany, or Japan.
2. Content Strategy: Compare potential blog post titles or keywords to decide which will garner more search engine traffic. You can evaluate multiple terms simultaneously to see which holds the highest historical interest.
3. Competitor Monitoring: Track mentions of competitor brand names alongside your own to visualize relative interest over time and identify specific dates where competitors might have experienced a publicity spike.
4. Automated Reporting: Use the cron integration feature to receive a daily summary of global or localized trending topics directly in your agent's dashboard.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current daily trending searches for Lithuania and the US, then summarize the top 5 tech-related trends."
2. "Compare the search interest for 'AI agents', 'LLMs', and 'automation' over the last 12 months for the United Kingdom."
3. "Which topic is currently more popular in Germany: 'renewable energy' or 'electric vehicles'? Provide a summary based on recent trends."

Tips & Limitations

• Regional Codes: Always use ISO country codes (e.g., 'US', 'DE', 'FR'). Leaving the geo field empty will default to worldwide trends.
• Data Accuracy: While this skill provides excellent comparative insights, remember that trends reflect relative interest rather than absolute search volume numbers.
• Automation: When setting up cron jobs, ensure the agent has the necessary permissions to access web endpoints for periodic data fetching.
