Google Trends lets you explore what the world is searching for or has searched. It is, in a sense, the aggregated search history of all internet users that Google throws open for all to see. It provides access to actual search requests made to Google. It shows interest in a particular topic from around the world.
Google Trends data is useful in many ways. For example, if you are selling a product or a service, it is important to know what people are asking or looking for–which can be found in Google Trends. And related information such as how much interest a thing in question has, whether the interest is on an upward or downward trend, when it has the highest interest, and the cyclical nature of the interest.
This information about seasonal trends, interest across time and region, and its projected trajectory is crucial for marketing and launching new products. You can use it to strategically position your product. With this information, you can tune your advertising for maximum impact or launch a new product in line with the season that has the most interest in the product.
Why have Google Trends data in Google Sheets
You can access most of the information without much digging. But for deeper analysis and more granular tracking, you could do no better than to have them in a spreadsheet where you can do all the surgical operations and close observations. And for this purpose, Google Sheets is your friend–reliable and always available, and doesn’t cost you money.
