Insights for Search can help you determine what message resonates best by looking at search volumes. Search popularity is a good indicator of what the world is searching for and what they are interested in. Letβs take the example that you are a car manufacturer and are launching a new car model - what message should you focus on - fuel efficiency? Safety? Engine performance? Letβs compare these three features as three different search terms to understand what people around the world are searching for.
As you can see, it appears that there is increased interest in fuel efficiency over other features such as safety and engine performance. Note that we can infer that the large increase earlier this year is likely due to the increasing fuel prices.You can also do further analysis by geographic region to see what message resonates by region - for example, if you use this same example but change the location to the UK, youβll find different results, as fuel prices are historically always high (ie. thereβs a higher emphasis on safety).
