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

Help - Losing Ranking on Plural Keywords in Google
Help! I'm losing keyword rankings for certain keywords - but still ranking well on others. The trend I can see is that we're losing rankings on plurals, so this page https://www.key.co.uk/en/key/platform-trolleys-trucks Used to rank well for: platform trolleys

404s in Google Search Console and javascript
The end of April, we made the switch from http to https and I was prepared for a surge in crawl errors while Google sorted out our site. However, I wasn't prepared for the surge in impossibly incorrect URLs and partial URLs that I've seen since then. I have learned that as Googlebot grows up, he'she's now attempting to read more javascript and will occasionally try to parse out and "read" a URL in a string of javascript code where no URL is actually present. So, I've "marked as fixed" hundreds of bits like /TRo39,

etc., etc.... But they are also returning hundreds of otherwise correct URLs with a .html extension when our CMS system generates URLs with a .uts extension like this: https://www.thompsoncigar.com/thumbnail/CIGARS/90-RATED-CIGARS/FULL-CIGARS/9012/c/9007/pc/8335.html
when it should be:
https://www.thompsoncigar.com/thumbnail/CIGARS/90-RATED-CIGARS/FULL-CIGARS/9012/c/9007/pc/8335.uts Worst of all, when I look at them in GSC and check the "linked from" tab it shows they are linked from themselves, so I can't backtrack and find a common source of the error. Is anyone else experiencing this? Got any suggestions on how to stop it from happening in the future? Last month it was 50 URLs, this month 150, so I can't keep creating redirects and hoping it goes away. Thanks for any and all suggestions!

Nursery franchise UAE Page 1
Nursery franchise UK Nowhere to be found! The page in question (well a section of the site) has been optimised for UK, however, as they do have a sister site in the UAE, it mentions those areas too. The pages I have been working on are now ranking reasonably well to say there is a long way to go, but for long tailed keywords NOT including anything to do with the UK. There are no naughty backlinks with the anchor text to do with the UK, the server is hosted in the UK, it is a .co.uk URL (no geotagging but I would like to know if this is of any use with this type of URL, everything says no, but it cant harm can it?) - is it possible Google due to bad practices in the past have slapped a penalty on the specific keyword area? Not something I have come across previously but I am scratching my head over here! Time for a brew break 😄 Thanks in advance guys! Leanne1 -
Author Photo No Longer Showing Up in Search
My author photo has been showing up in search for quite some time but starting today I noticed that it no longer does even though the structured data testing tool still has it showing up. It only seems to show up on my google+ profile. Anyone notice the same thing?

Did Google Just Punish Organic For Showing Up In Local?
Google pushed the local search results in a prominent spot on a ton of search results. That means (for me) that all first page rankings (including a lot of 1st place rankings) have completely disappeared. Subfolders still rank and homepage still ranks where local search is not included. This is weird. Is this a glitch or is there something we can do about this?

Decrease in Organic Traffic Due to Google Places
Hello there, we are national junk removal company and have franchises in most major cities in the US. We wanted to check to see if anyone else has seen a drop in organic traffic with the changes that Google has done with the amalgamation of Google Places with the organic rankings. All our places pages are ranking quite well and we are ranking higher organically but it appears that people go to the Google Places page and then either leaving or picking up the phone and calling our 1800 number to book a job instead of going to our website to make the booking. The interesting thing is that although Google started these changes back in October 2010 we have seen the drop in organic traffic mostly starting in April, even though we have seen a steady increase in organic ranking across the board. Has any other franchise based company seen this happen as well? Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

I've just checked a site and were no1 on google when searched on the Ipad 2 but when searched on my Macbook we are page 2 ?

Location and how it affects search results
I'm ranking in the top 3 for a keyword in Google but when I change my location to a state of city I'm at the bottom of the page. Can anyone help? I made sure that the state I want to rank for is both in my title and body. The page has been up for almost a year and is a PR3. It is not my home page but a sup page under "areas we serve." I'm looking for someone who can explain how I can optimize for a state or city. Thanks
