Google’s Daniel Waisberg and Omri Weisman have shared three powerful ways to enhance your digital marketing strategies using Google Trends. In a recent video, the pair explained how you can use this tool to better understand competitors, track brand awareness, and forecast product demand. ▪️Benchmarking Against Competitors With Google Trends, you can see how often people search for your business compared to your competitors. Just enter your company name and a competitor's to track who’s getting more attention over time. This comparison helps you assess brand strength, identify growth or decline over time, and understand regional differences in demand. For more detailed insights, you can also segment searches by type, like web, image, or YouTube searches, to see where competitors may have an edge. Analyzing this data by specific regions or cities can reveal areas to target for online campaigns or even potential new audience locations. ▪️Analyzing Brand Awareness Google Trends is great for tracking brand awareness. You can check which search terms are on the rise or most popular when people search for your brand. This gives you a good idea of how consumers see your business and helps you adjust your marketing strategy. You can also track what people are saying about your brand on YouTube. By selecting "YouTube Search," you can track what people are saying about your brand on the platform and what content is driving engagement. ▪️ Forecasting Product Demand One of the most practical uses of Google Trends is forecasting product demand. By looking at how search interest changes over time, you can spot seasonal trends and stock up on products at the right time. Exploring related search terms can also help you discover new products or services that are gaining popularity. The best part? Google Trends is free, so you have nothing to lose by testing the effectiveness of these strategies for your business. This article provides a more detailed breakdown of these strategies.

Salesforce has announced the introduction of new integrated eCommerce storefronts in its Starter and Pro Suites. This update adds to Salesforce's all-in-one platform for marketing, sales, service, and now commerce, making it easier for small businesses to set up direct-to-consumer (D2C) online stores. With these new features, businesses can scale quickly while delivering a cohesive customer experience. By bringing together customer data and interactions across traditionally separate departments, these new storefronts lay the groundwork for connected commerce. The new storefront software includes several key features: ▪️Quick Setup: A step-by-step guide for rapid onboarding ensures businesses can hit the ground running. ▪️Low-Code Designer: Easily build customized, branded storefronts without extensive coding knowledge. ▪️Centralized Merchandising: Manage products and pricing from one location, simplifying inventory control. ▪️Performance Dashboards: Pre-built analytics to help streamline operations and boost revenue. Salesforce eCommerce storefronts are now available in the U.S. through the Starter Suite, Pro Suite, and Salesforce Foundations, starting at $25 per user per month. If you're looking to build a large eCommerce brand, you should probably stick to a more established platform like Shopify, that can scale with you. However, if you are already using Salesforce, and are thinking of adding an eCommerce store to your existing small to medium sized business, this could be a great tool.
