Anita,

Thanks for the insight! I did a search on coffee and tea.

1. United States
100
2. Australia
85
3. Sri Lanka
81
4. Canada
68
5. Singapore
68
6. Kenya
66
7. New Zealand
62
8. United Kingdom
62
9. Philippines
58
10. South Africa

I see plenty of old colonies to the British Empire and English speaking countries. I also see countries with a big tea and coffee industry. I then click on America and got regional interest for coffee and tea. This data could be leading indicator for my future business project. Where could I set up a meeting place with a coffee house and tea salon?

1. Washington
100
2. Oregon

3. California
98
4. Minnesota
97
5. Texas

6. Vermont

7. Colorado

8. Massachusetts

9. New York

10. Hawaii

Hi,

I tried it and it’s awesome! It give me details such as: interest over time, regional interest and even the search terms related to my main search term. And it is very helpful in determining our business market and where to market it exactly. Thanks for that!

Great! Thanks Anita!

Like Amanda, I shouldn’t have known the existence of this application from Google. I tried it and it is really helpful for us in optimizing our business – the what and where to optimize! Really helpful!

I am always learning new things from great bloggers like yourself. I wouldn’t even know these types of apps existed without you. I make candles on the side, so I searched the term “candles”. I was nicely surprised to see that my state of PA is number 3 for the regional interest. I guess I should put more effort in targeting my local customers.
