Overall Satisfaction with Google Trends
I use Google Trends to identify popular search topics that may be related to my clients' businesses. Then I can use other tools to extrapolate keywords for SEO purposes. The other way that I use Google Trends is to identify popular topics that I can turn into successful Facebook Ads for use in my clients' advertising campaigns.
- Google Trends shows me geographic locations where a particular topic may be useful for advertising.
- Google Trends allows me to drill down into those locations to metro and city levels where I can focus on exactly what local business clients need to know.
- Google Trends allows me to identify and qualify search terms that my client's need to optimize their websites and social media content for.
- Google Trends shows me what people are talking about in a specific location over a specific period of time. This is a great way to know what I should be posting on social media.
- It would be nice to have breadcrumbs available so that I can go backward in a particular search. One I click a topic and then click the related terms two or three times, I find that I'm so far down the rabbit hole that the "Back" button in my browser is a really inconvenient way to find my way back to a certain stage of my search. If there were breadcrumbs I could jump directly back to a particular stage and chase another rabbit from there.
- It's easy to get lost searching in here for an extended period of time. I would be nice to be able to print a report of my whole session when I have finished.
- It would be nice to have a Top Tends board of job searches or other information related to jobs that are currently popular Google searches.
- I can't really give a measurement of how Google Trends has directly contributed.
- Since Google Trends is free I would have to say that it is all positive ROI.
- I can say that Google Trends definitely makes it easier to accomplish my business objectives of delivering the most relevant and insightful advice to my clients regarding their SEO, Social Media Publishing, and Online Advertising.
I haven't used any other services like Google Trends.
