Why am I getting high Local, Exact Phrase Counts, and MOB but a '0' SOC?
This can happen if you are using an apostrophe (') in your keyword. An apostrophe messes up the inurl counts of SOC. Since you cannot have apostrophes in URLs, Google counts them as 'zero' hence skewing the SOC - turning it '0'. I suggest not using an apostrophes - typing something like 'Men's Basketball Shoes' vs typing 'Mens Basketball Shoes' into Google returns the exact same results so your search data will not be affected by not using an apostrophe. But typing in "inurl:Men's Basketball Shoes" vs "inurl:Mens Basketball Shoes" shows the where the incorrect number comes from.
If you are also getting '0's for Exact Phrase Count you can read about being blocked by Google
