R De Marigny Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hi  Is anyone on here using Google Analytics /Trends to research keep tabs on emerging trends & searches? Not sure if the long lockdown has addled with my brain but I found it worth following.  Is that a sign of mind avalanche? Anyone?  👀 🤔  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geogphotos Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Most of my visits in USA came from one city only. I eventually worked out that was where the Google Bots live.  I don't get enough visitors to assess trends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refer to live trends Google trends. I ll insert a link.  What if analysing trends and applying insights were to assist sales? Anyone experimenting by applying trend insights to shoots.  I suppose it may be similar in some sense to Alamy tracking client search terms incorporating into measures tool. Its interesting material, you can set filters to specific countries regarding consumer trends searches or to specific subject areas if you were only interested in narrowing to particular sectors.  https://www.thinkwithgoogle.com/intl/en-gb/use-google-trends-discover-market-trends/   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R De Marigny Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) That's fine Geogphotos thank you for replying. I wanted to enquire here if any forum members are researching these trends /using trend insights. Edited August 20, 2020 by R De Marigny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R De Marigny Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) That's alright. I quite like that you can use the filter if you prefer to narrow down to specific subjects of interest. Edited August 20, 2020 by R De Marigny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see if anything becomes of this. I don't know if the Google licensing program is something that Alamy can take advantage of, though.

I would expect that they go straight to the agencies they know rather than messing about on Google. Edited August 21, 2020 by geogphotos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for licensing stock via social media.  Figure it's worth a try, though. PS was very good about helping out with the IPTC fields.
