Google Trends

Google announced as I covered yesterday at Search Engine Land that they have updated Google Trends. If you don't know, Google Trends is an excellent resource for SEOs and SEMs.

Here is what Google said is new with it:

  • A revamped Trending searches section, showing what is trending in search right now, both daily and minute-by-minute.
  • A newly-designed section where you can see Google Trends data stories curated by the News Lab team on everything from the Trump Administration through Mother’s Day. It’s also a great place to find amazing examples of Google data visualizations by newsroom designers from all over the world.
  • Easy access to Year in Search data going back to 2001, so you can see how search interest has changed over time.
  • New infographic types such as an intensity map to compare different topics in more meaningful ways.

Here is what Steve Grove from the Google Trends team wrote on Twitter.
