What People Search for on Google in March

what people search in marchWant to know what people search for on Google in March?

I track the top Google searches daily so I can refer to them the next year for various marketing reasons. But these popular searches can help your business too (besides SEO opportunities) including:

  • Inspiration for social media posts
  • Inspiration for blog content
  • Inspiration for promotions
  • Inspiration for products and services

For example, an idea from my 12-Month Marketing Plan for Restaurants (although, any type of business can use this idea) is that every October, the top Google searches are always “fall festivals near me”, “corn mazes near me”, “haunted houses near me”. Therefore, why not create a one-page Local Fall Events Calendar listing these events, but also has your restaurant menu on the other side.

Then place it in local mailboxes, in doors, or hand out on a corner. It’s something people will keep and refer to, and you get relatively cheap advertising for your business. You could even ask these local events to sponsor the flyer, and then it costs you nothing.

So based on last year’s results, here is what people will likely be searching next month:

March Madness (starts March 13th)

Google Search Phrases On The Rise

google search phrases on the riseIt is really important to always keep an eye on Google search phrases on the rise.

I love looking at Google Trends and seeing which search phrases are popular, but also which ones are on the rise. The great thing about Google Trends is you can customize it by country and by time period (i.e. last 7 days), so it is a great tool to keep on top of the marketplace. So I entered some product categories to see what the top rising search phrases were, for the last 3 months, worldwide.

Top Rising Google Searches for Jewelry
  • Cheap Body Jewelry
  • Hematite Jewelry
  • Amethyst Jewelry (amethyst is the February birthstone)
  • Bridesmaid Jewelry
Top Rising Google Searches for Wedding Invitations
  • Fun Wedding Invitations
  • Coral Wedding Invitations
  • Country Wedding Invitations
  • Homemade Wedding Invitations
Top Rising Google Searches for Baby Clothes
  • Baby Summer Clothes
  • Neutral Baby Clothes
  • Crochet Baby Clothes
  • Handmade Baby Clothes
  • Unisex Baby Clothes
Top Rising Google Searches for Art
  • Kitchen Art
  • African Wall Art
  • Bathroom Wall Art
  • Beach Wall Art
  • Kitchen Wall Art (Kitchen seems to be in big demand)
Top Rising Google Searches for Vintage

  • Vintage Prom Dresses
  • Vintage Bridesmaid Dresses
  • Vintage Style Dresses
Top Rising Google Searches for Home Products

  • Decorative baskets
  • Decorative bird cages

FINAL WORD: When you look at searches in lesser time frames, like the last 3 months, it helps you to see popular cyclical searches, such as Valentine’s, and also how far in advance people start searching for different events or seasons. For example, people are already searching for summer items. Use Google Trends to help you find where that next opportunity lies for your online business.
