What are some good tools/strategies for estimating local search volume? Thanks!
 
Makes sense; I haven't used the Keyword Planner in a while since I don't actively spend money on Adwords, but managed to log into a work account to get in and start using it. Thanks.
 
Don't know if you're working for a client or researching for your own site but use Google to get KW volume.

Then you can also use sites like YP, Yelp to check the competition. If you have a sraper, scrape the listings and you can throw them into Ahrefs or Majestic to get an idea of what your competitors are doing. What are the ratios - ie. does the monthly search volume vs. the amount of businesses out there warrant you to move forward? If you find it's saturated but still low competition, then go for it.
