@@DoctorwhoFAN-l1s hi - the main thing you want to first do is make sure you’re not searching within a country, and so instead choose ‘Worldwide’ from the top drop down menu. Then you should be able to scroll down and you’ll see a world map colour coded based on search volumes, as well as the specific numbers next to it. Hope that helps?
Thank you for your video. To the point, No fluff and it was very clear. So many UA-camrs filled our video with a bunch of crap that we all recognize is crap and not valuable information. You’re one of the few. Great job!
That’s great to hear! Also try Answer The Public. It’s also free and allows you to see what related areas to consider… it’s kind of like an ‘expansion pack’ to Google Trends. I’ve made a short video about if you want to check that out first. ☺️
Thank you for your video. My questions - 1) What is the best way to estimate the proportion (%) of search between 2 brands and the overall category. The 2 brands and category are available only as search terms on trends. 2) Considering the category is a search term, do I need to add all key search terms, or google will consolidate related search terms? 3) Will the search terms for the brands be part of the overall category?
Hi Ricky, I’m afraid Google Trends data isn’t that sophisticated on the standard data it gives in the dashboard. If you search for ‘beer’ it isn’t going to include all the separate brands (like Guinness, Budweiser etc) as part of that. But it will give you a trend line for beer as a whole. Given a category is made up of many different brands, you can create a list of all the different brands you’re interested in and insert them and see how they relate relative to one another. There is some research that has been done that shows that there is a link between search volumes and (future) market share. Have a look at Les Binet’s work on share of search. But doing this throughly would mean exporting the data and quite a lot of work. I think a lot of this really depends on what you’re looking to achieve more broadly. As it MAY be that Google Trends isn’t the right approach. For example, it’s possible to get actual market share data by category (sometimes free, sometimes you have to pay for). Sorry it’s not a clear cut answer to your question, but hope it helps as a starting point for what you’re looking to achieve!
Interesting and on topic, thanks! Except for the background music which is fuzzing the narration, certainly to non-native English like myself. Thank you.
Thanks! Unfortunately not. Google Trends doesn't actually give you the volume of searches. But you can find out... you'll simply need to use Google Keyword planner. I haven't done a full video on it, but I touch on it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/-d-3b679W3U/v-deo.html
Hello. Thank you for the great videoI didnt knoz how to use google trend until i watched your video. Im starting my skincar brand with three products but when i researched a prpduct it didnt give results so does that mean that i should not make that prodict? THE product is cleansing oil? so does that mean its not a good choice? Could you pls answer as i try to udnerstand. Thank you
Thanks for your video. I'm completely new to google trends. One very basic thing I don't get with the google trends graph is how do you find out HOW MANY searches were made at any given time for your keyword? It just shows a bumpy line that can go from zero to 100. What does that mean? ... If you wanted to find out how many people searched for 'landscape painting' for example, over a certain period of time and worldwide or whatever, how would you do that?
Hi Mark, that’s a common question and it’s not very clear in Google Trends… Google trends really only shows you the trend line of a topic compared to other topics, and whether interest is going up or down. The 100 you see is simply the peak of search results for the time period you selected. You can, however, get an idea of how many people are searching for a topic by using Google Keyword planner. It’s also free to use. I talk a bit more about how to do that in this video here: 10 Free Market Research Tools you should be using in 2022 ua-cam.com/video/-d-3b679W3U/v-deo.html Hope that helps!
@@undatable5838 Much appreciated thank you.... I would've thought showing search numbers would be an even better indication of TRENDS but I'm a simple soul. perhaps google don't want too many eggs in one basket...😊 I have just checked out the link you gave me, SUPER useful and you address the above issue very clearly. Thanks again ❤
How can you know how many searches are? It just shows a chart comparing with different dates buy does not seem to indicate the number or volume of searches
Hi, that’s a common question and it’s not very clear in Google Trends… Google trends really only shows you the trend line of a topic compared to other topics, and whether interest is going up or down.

Hi Mohammed, the Google trends data is what they call ‘indexed’. They do this largely because it makes it quicker and easier for you to see and interpret the search trends. So regardless of the topic, country or dates, you will always a point on a line appear that hits 100… that simply means that was the maximum amount of searches for that time period. If another point has a value of 50, you can assume that the search volume was about half of that maximum point. Does that help?
I think it would have been better to search for " socks " topic not search term because in a topic u get all the related searches to your term. What do u think ? How do u see the difference between topic and search term ? Which one is better ?
Hi Paul, I completely agree with you. I do think that it’s less relevant for certain terms than others however. In the video I talk about ‘Stance’ and that you need to choose ‘underwear company’ rather than search term, as the ‘underwear company’ classification allows you to see that they also have the same seasonal fluctuations in search volume as ‘socks’, while the broader topic doesn’t, as the word stance has multiple meanings. Having said that, Google’s coding, while incredible, isn’t perfect so my suggestion would be to definitely choose a specific topic (if available) rather than search term but make sure to sense check it against both the wider search term and other potential classifications. Does that make sense? What do you think?
Hi! No the figures are indexed, so what you’re seeing is the trend line compared to the peak point for the time period you’re searching within. The peak will always have a value of 100. And if another point has a value of 50, then you can assume that the volume of searches for that point was half of the peak point. If you want to know how many people are searching for a specific term you can use Google’s free ‘Keyword Planner’. It will give you a rough estimate of how many people are searching for the terms you’re interested in. If you want more info, I touched on it in this video here: ua-cam.com/video/-d-3b679W3U/v-deo.html
If I want to know where in the world is a specific product or category most trending, how do you do that? Since not Every country is using english and their native languages. How to auto translate in non english countries?
Hi! What you want to do is type in the product or category you’re interested, choose ‘worldwide’ and scroll down. You’ll see a map of the world, and next to that a list of countries ranked. The top country has the largest search interest as a percentage of search volume. And therefore you can say that there is most interest there. Keep in mind though that countries have different population… so people may be more interested in LEGO (for example) in Denmark compared to the US according to the list. But the US has a far bigger population, so the actual number of people interested will probably be larger in the US. As for translations, Google does a fair job with this especially for easy word (e.g. the word ‘car’ is easy to translate for most languages so you can be fairly confident you can trust the comparability if you type in the word ‘car’), but more complex words or phrases may causes a bit of a challenge with the comparability. Hope that helps!

If only Google Trends can also include in its insights age, gender, or socioeconomic factors, they can be crucial for certain types of analysis or targeting specific audiences.
That would be amazing. You can get a certain amount of these insights from other Google tools, but having them in Google Trends would be great!
@@undatable5838hello. Can you make a video on the Google products that have these features?
for some reason all my searches on google trends always have a dotted line going straight to zero after any search
Hi! Yes, that’s a supposed prediction by Google Trends about where it’s going to for the next period… so looking into the future. But depending on when (I.e. day in the week) you’re looking at it you get very different predictions. My suggestion would be to ignore the dotted line.
