11 statements about Google Trends, every show
Evans: ChatGPT dominates consumer app rankings while competitors lag outside top 50
“ChatGPT is at the top of the outstore rank. Gemini bubbles between, like, 50 and a hundred. None of the others are in the top 100. Same in Google Trends. Same in the usage numbers. Same in the revenue.”
Evans: No competing AI app has more than 5% of ChatGPT's usage
“Go look at App Store ranking, or Google Trends, or usage data of any kind that you can get, and you see that basically it's ChatGPT, and then none of the others are more than five percent of that.”
Patel: Brand building takes 1 year to show and 10 to mature
“You should see it within the first year. Within three years, it really kicks in. Within 10 years, you're starting to become decently well-known within a vertical.”
Evans: ChatGPT usage on Google Trends drops sharply in summer and Christmas
“I mean, it's funny if you look at Google Trends. There's a big sag in the summer and then a big sag in the Christmas week.”

“So I started using these tools and looking at grass fed, like the search terms for grass fed beef delivered, any type of search term that was all related to that. So paleo, keto, all of those. And every single one of these search terms were just like an absolu…”
Evans: Google Trends for 'Best' Are Rising While 'Cheap' Searches Decline
“I have a trend, a chart I often show of Google trends for best versus cheap. Cheap is going down and best is going up. The point being that you used to use the internet for price comparison. You knew what you wanted. You went to the internet and searched cheap…”
Evans: Google Trends shows searches for 'best' overtook 'cheap' over 15 years
“Now my other kind of chart that I always use is Google Trends for best versus cheap. Because what happens is cheap has gone down. It's a classic crossing, crossing lines chart. Cheap goes down, best goes up. Over the last 15 years”
