The watch set: six queries, fixed before the first reading

The set

Query	Monthly searches, Ireland	Why it is in the set
seo agency dublin	600	The largest supplier term, and the reference property's query
seo company dublin	500	The other head supplier term
seo consultant dublin	200	The person-shaped variant, and the planned founder property's query
local seo dublin	80	The subject term the handbook owns
best seo company dublin	200	The network's own claim, company form
best seo agency dublin	20	The network's own claim, agency form

Search volumes are Ahrefs estimates for Ireland, retrieved on the same date as the reading.

Why these six and not others

Each of the four category terms is a query one of the network's published properties is written for. That is the point: a log that measured queries no property targets would be measuring somebody else's work. The two superlative terms are in the set because the network makes a claim in exactly those words, and a claim that is never checked against what the results contain is a claim nobody has tested.

Trade-level queries such as plumber dublin are deliberately out of the set. They are measured for demand on the local supplier property, but they are not part of what this network is trying to be found for, so reading them here would inflate the log without informing it.

The add-only rule

The set can be added to. It cannot be trimmed. If a query is dropped after a reading it is because somebody did not like the answer, and a log with that habit is worth nothing. Additions are dated, and any query added after the first reading carries fewer observations than the original six, which the field dictionary records against it.

What happened on the first reading

Four queries returned a results page from the instrument. Two, both superlative forms, returned nothing at all. That is recorded rather than quietly dropped, and its own page explains what a null reading means and what it does not.
