Marketers can discover trends in search interest and track monthly changes for all brands in their categories. In many categories, a brand’s share of category search can be used to predict its market share. It offers modules enabling users to discover search interest trends for category brands or other search terms/keywords. The volume trends module lets users view trends in monthly search interest for all brands in a category or other search terms and compare multiple terms at a time. Teams can access relative search volumes and % share of search charts as well as save/retrieve searches, export data/charts, and create custom reports for scheduled emails. The similar trends module enables users to access trends in search interest for terms associated with a brand or brand-relevant topic. Businesses can view the relative importance of each term and trend in search interest for the terms. Similar terms can indicate category entry points that cue a brand search. > > Verdict: Rated **4.7/5** by 6 users.

But this is rather linked to how Google provide data and not platform itself Saving your "searches" - You have the possibility to save your "search" so you won't need to enter all the keywords and make the needed set-up each time, but if you make some updates to this search (different period for example), you need to save it again, means no possibility to overwrite the previous one (and you could end up having 3-4 "searches" with same name, and it's a bit confusing) > > Overall it's an impressive tool, with so much granularity. We are using it primarily for Moldova, were there is a huge lack of data on market (and volumes in search inclusively), but with Share of Searching we find insights almost for every category we are analysing. ----- ### "Incredible tool for SEOs" — 5.0/5 > **Mona** | *1 January 2024* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Share of Searching enables you to access keyword data from Google Trends without any limitations such as maximum number of queries etc. I use it weekly for keyword research and trending topics and monthly for reporting on internal brand and competitor share of search. Also love how easy is it to extract the data in a format that works for me. There are also well built out visuals for anyone who quickly needs to download a graph for a deck or presentation so that is really handy as well. Overall it's a great all round SEO tool with so many great features. I've been using it for years and consider it a must have. > > **Cons**: Sometimes there are glitches when pulling information, however this usually resolves on it's own once I repull it again and likely is more an issue on Google's side more than anything. ----- ### "If you use Google trends a lot, this will improve analysis and save you time" — 4.0/5 > **Richard** | *13 December 2023* | Market Research | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: If you use Google trends a lot, this will improve analysis and save you time > > **Cons**: Some of the visualisations aren't client presentable - they need downloading and visualising (I use flourish) > > Good tool. As with all search data though, sometime it can be like reading tea leaves (which for some is part of the fun) ----- ### "Great product for fast marketing analysis" — 4.0/5 > **Yuri** | *14 December 2023* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a fast to use, no complex traing required tool with powerful feature of time optimization > > **Cons**: It is tailored to a narrow set of descovery tasks. Might other functions of insights search be added, this could make the tool invaluable > > Positive experience, ready to recommend, 7 of 10 ----- ### "A solid solution for a valuable tool" — 5.0/5 > **Zac** | *12 December 2023* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability to pull reports on a real-time basis. The multiple dimensions the data is presented in are helpful to make quick inferences to the dataset. > > **Cons**: Occassionally data can be missing, but this is very rare. > > The overall experience has been very good. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/436305/share-of-searching?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/436305/share-of-searching) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
