Search term reports in industrial controls accounts expose high-intent queries that most platforms automatically pause for low volume. A query like 'Allen-Bradley ControlLogix to Siemens S7-1200 migration gateway' has maybe 20 monthly searches, but it represents a platform-switch evaluation that could unlock a 6-month sales cycle and a six-figure deal. Signal extracts bigrams and trigrams from your search-term reports and runs statistical significance testing on conversion data — so you can surface the high-intent, low-volume specification queries that should be protected, not paused. The trigram analysis is particularly valuable in controls: 'Modbus to EtherNet/IP bridge', 'SCADA system water treatment plant', 'HMI edge gateway real-time' — these are the domain-specific term combinations that signal serious engineering evaluation. Signal flags when a promising term is declining across time snapshots, which in controls often means a vendor EOL announcement, a new competitor technology, or a shift in buyer preference. Recommendation: run Signal on your search-term reports monthly. Flag the top 20 rising trigrams and bid them explicitly as phrase or exact match — treat low-volume, high-intent specification queries as your highest-priority keyword additions, not as noise to be paused.

Signal for industrial controls
N-gram analyzer with statistical significance testing, applied to industrial controls & automation.
About Signal
Search term reports lie at the surface. Signal pulls bigrams and trigrams out of any pasted report, runs significance testing on conversion data, and surfaces the patterns that are actually worth either bidding harder on or burying as negatives.

Industrial controls is the most technically nuanced B2B vertical in paid media. Buyers are control engineers who think in protocols (Modbus, Profinet, EtherNet/IP) and runtime modes (real-time, hard real-time, deterministic).
