Trending Topics shows you what keywords or hashtags are being used alongside  your main search term. Keep track of where the conversation is going by seeing what other words or hashtags are being used around your tracker search term. This helps you make changes to your campaign in real time by understanding your audience and what they are saying.

Red Arrow: Keywords is becoming less popular.

You can also go one step further into your search and add a subtopic. We added 'dessert' in this case:
