Keywords & trends in the jewellery & watches industry
Want to make your SEO shine bright like a diamond? We’ve got some insights around keywords and trends that can help focus your campaign. First, let’s start with keywords, which can be split into high-competition and opportunity.
High-competition keywords are those that are high in monthly search volume, but every brand is targeting them, making it harder to rank higher in the SERPs. Some examples in our online Jewellery and Watches Market Report include: “watch shop” with 30,000 SV but 83 competitiveness rating, followed by “watches”, and “rings”.
Opportunity keywords are those that are also high in monthly search volume but low in competitiveness, making it easier to rank high. These tend to be more specific keywords; some in our Jewellery SEO Report are: “eternity ring” with 21,000 SV and 6 competitiveness, followed by “gold hoop earrings” and “ladies watches”.
Trends in our Watch and Jewellery Industry Report are split into emerging and receding brands and products. For now, we will just cover a snippet of emerging products. A few of those are: “engagement rings”, “mens watches”, and “lab created diamond band”.

Who’s shining bright on social media?
Social media and brand reach are two important factors in SEO: how well you build your brand on social media and how well your brand name gets searched. Both are vital in making sure your name is in front of the user when it comes time for them to convert, influencing them before they are even in the buying journey.
In our Jewellery and Watch Industry Report, we look at who’s doing the best in the social media scene and brand reach, using an owned social scoring system. On social media and brand reach, the brand dominating all is none other than Pandora, with over 30,000,000 followers across different platforms, 1,830,000 monthly brand searches, and an owned social score of 49,352!
Being the number one industry leader, it’s clear that social media can truly make a difference. By using both image and reel content, with engaging posts of products, shoppable functions to take to their website, and highlights, Pandora builds their brand name and audience engagement.
