Where can I find a breakdown of google search volume by specific industry/vertical? For example, what % of people searching in google are looking for housing? Cars? Restaurants?

I"m looking for specific breakdowns of search volume in google by:
#1 Vertical (Shopping/restaurants/Services etc).
For example, how many people are searching in google for information pertaining to restaurants per month? Search volume for all of 2012, 2013, 2014?
#2 More granular categories within verticals, people searching for: books,apartment rentals,cellphones)
Is there a breakdown of google search somewhere online that gives this type of information?
Thank you MOZ community, really appreciate it!

Hi
Sorry for repeating, but you gave the answer all by yourself: if you need to know how many people searched for "New car" in the U.S. , you can use both Adwords keyword tool and google trends to get this data. Here is an example for the car industry. Once you determine the keywords you need, you can benchmark and analyze data with many tools (eg. google trends and google adwords, or also semrush, searchmetrics, and moz tools), to get the trends and search volume for all those keywords, and get insights on the industry field youre working on.
Hope this helped

I really appreciate you thinking this through for me, but think about it. Let's take the restaurant industry. There have to be people out there making presentations and putting in facts like "X # of searches are being made by people in the U.S. looking for local restaurants (for example). Or the car industry, people need stats like "X number of people searching for a new car in the U.S. this month"
These statistics seem a vital part of the search community, and understanding these statistics when putting together any kind of global online marketing plan seem important.
Any other ideas to really dig down and get some more specifics?

I think having search volume by vertical is not easy or possible. This because there are so many queries users can use to get to a certain page. Another solution is to use google trends, but you will have to define general keywords for your search: as google shows here you can use trends to target your business and compare different keywords for it to get insights at the business search volume.
But I don't think you can find such data in other ways. What kind of results would you like to expect?
Car Industry: 100.000.000 searches / month
Advertising: 100.000.000 searches / month
It would not be possible: where for example you would then put a query such as "Audi Commercial Advertising". This because queries can target several business industries. What do you think?

Thanks for the tip here!
There must be some place online where we can see the breakdown of search volume by vertical? Anyone out there in the moz community done a research report or found a research report that shows google search volume by category/vertical over the last 5 years?

This is a new tool from google that helps you see how each channel was influential in the conversion path with breakdown by industry type. This isn't anyway what you were looking for. The only other suggestion that comes to my mind:
Use Keyword Planner from Adwords, and search for ideas of your keyword. Then type something generic (like car insurance) to see all related searches to that particular topic, to get a rough idea of what the search volume is for all those queries.
Hope this helps

One of my pages doesn't appear in Google's search
Our page has been indexed (I just checked) but literally doesn't exist in the first 300 results despite having a respectable DA & PA. Is there something I can do? There's no reason why this specific page doesn't rank, as far as I can see. It's not a new page. Cheers, Rhys

Google is simplifying my meta titles. What does it mean?
Hi Guys. I've noticed that google seems to be simplifying my meta titles in their SERP for some keyword searchs. Should I be worried about this? Perhaps a sign of being a little 'spammy' in my meta titles? Or is Google just aiming to bring up the most relevant looking result? Based on that specific search? Isaac.

What is the impact of HTTP/2 on SEO ?
I think it's good for the user experience and speeds up websites, especially if your site has a lot of requests. But i'm not sure if there are other side effects, and if there's an impact on SEO or technical configuration. Most of my websites are built with Wordpress, some with Joomla.

Google domain search
Hello all, I'm a newbie to SEO, so you'll have to bear with me. I just started a website LangleyHomeSaerch.com a few months ago and am having trouble ranking with google. When I search "Langley Home Search" with Yahoo or Bing, it comes up on the first page. However when I search it with google it doesn't seem to rank even in the first few hundred pages. The only way I can get a match from google is if I search "Langley HomeSearch" or "LangleyHomeSearch". I know due to google's newer algorithms that there is less importance put on domain name matches, but is this normal, or is there anything I can do to improve it? Thx, Colby Langley, BC

Big hit taken on Google Search in Jan - Any Ideas?
Hello, I manage a news site that gets new items posted daily. We had had a pretty even keel with Google search and ranking for some time now only on the 9th Jan we took a massive drop and have no recovered except for one big spike on the 29th January. The only think we had done differently was not post as much over Christmas for about a week as people were on holiday but if this was the reason for it the posting is back to normal now and has been since the 6th Jan and nothing has recovered. The site is wjlondon.com - any ideas greatly appreciated. Thank you

How can I check Googles Page Cache ?
Hi I use to have a handy tool in Firefox (Google Toolbar) that was very handy for checking page ranks and what date a page had been cached. For a while with the newer versions of Firefox I cannot seem to locate this useful tool, Can anybody recommend any useful tools for checking the above. Thanks Adam

How do these people have so many external back links?
A few of the sites that I 'compete' with have blogger accounts...and according to the research I've done they have over 500 million external, followed, links! These are mom blogs....and they aren't trying to do any SEO. I've noticed that if you are using blogger (as opposed to wordpress) and adding embed youtube videos to your blog you can set it to auto populate to youtube and also get a link in return. From what I can gather this just happens with blogger accounts since bloggers...and youtube...and google are all related. Does that have something to do with the crazy amount of followed external links they are getting? They also have a domain authority of 96 (which is because blogger is a trusted domain.... Is the sub-domain a better number to look at since their blog is a sub domain on blogger? Also, does anyone know who to get the same sort of exposure in youtube as blogger blogs get...or if it's even possible? Thanks.
