Expireddomains.net is an excellent tool but I feel as it inaccurate for measuring metrics that could be used to leverage a sale via outbound.

I’ve got my eye on a domain, ED says it has an organic SV of 1.3k and a CPC of 5.36. But, when I input the name into another site for measuring, nothing comes out.

I used keywordseverywhere for this example but what other tools are available? Preferably free but a small monthly fee is fine if the data is to be trusted.

Following that, how do I know which resource is the most accurate?

When dealing with buyers, only use Google's Keyword Planner as a reference (You can add Bing too). You can get access to it for free.

That’s a great idea - gkp would be the most trustworthy source for a potential buyer.

Had a quick check, do I have to make an entire campaign for every single domain I have interest in?

Upon further research I’ve found Mangools - seems reputable and has a great, easy to read user interface. Would you guys also recommend this one?

Ignore that, I was trying to use the embedded app - you can just gkp planner as a stand alone tool.

So the results are showing vastly lower results than mangools / ed - is this accurate?

Keyword planner by Google is just Google, but they have most of the market. Third party tools might use some estimates or other bing or have data that is not valid.

When you sell a name, you cannot risk doing things that will give buyers a chance to feel you are not being honest. When you base things off Google keyword planner and you tell them, "this does not include other possible search engines that people use" you are leaving no way for them to feel you are picking some data source that suits you.

Turns out, I was only searching in the UK, the default search location, because that's where I'm based. When I added the US as a location, the results were similar to that of ED & Mangools. Silly me. 😆

I feel more comfortable with this new data because it isn't heavily biased in my favor or against me.

With this new understanding, I aim to shift the emphasis from the extremes to the average monthly searches when presenting the concept to a potential buyer.

I would appreciate it if someone could share some clarity on how to market these metrics to a potential buyer. Assuming the ED CPC data is correct (I couldn't find it on GKP), would it be worthwhile to highlight that metric and the top-of-page bid? I understand that if these metrics are too high, the buyer would be at a disadvantage, as they would end up paying more for advertising.

The domain is specialized in the labor trade sector, so the high CPC and page bid are somewhat understandable. However, with a relatively low SV, I don't see this as a strongly marketable name based on metrics, only by name.

Follow-up question: if anyone could be so kind in sharing insight

Google ads always measure data from 1k-10k, 10k-100k, 100k-1M, etc. How can I use more accurate data while still being a trustworthy source for a buyer? Google margins are very vague, so I don't know how to advertise this correctly.
