According to a study by Ahrefs, which analyzed more than 2.5 million user queries on Google, nearly 46.51% of Google searches are related to a specific brand. These findings underscore the great value of brand recognition and name in the online world. When users type a keyword along with the name of a business or product, it indicates a clear interest in that particular brand. At the same time, for professionals and online store owners, branded searches can act as a catalyst for strengthening SEO strategy and improving ROI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difference between generic and branded searches is significant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-iconlist gspb_iconsList gspb_iconsList-id-gsbp-d352d4e\" id=\"gspb_iconsList-id-gsbp-d352d4e\"><ul><li class=\"gspb_iconsList__item\" data-id=\"0\"><svg class=\"\" style=\"display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewbox=\"0 0 1024 1024\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path style=\"fill:#565D66\" d=\"M871.696 166.932l-526.088 526.088-193.304-193.304c-9.372-9.372-24.568-9.372-33.942 0l-56.568 56.568c-9.372 9.372-9.372 24.568 0 33.942l266.842 266.842c9.372 9.372 24.568 9.372 33.942 0l599.626-599.626c9.372-9.372 9.372-24.568 0-33.942l-56.568-56.568c-9.372-9.372-24.568-9.372-33.94 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"gspb_iconsList__item__text\">Generic searches are those that include keywords such as \u201conline sales,\u201d \u201cSEO strategy,\u201d or \u201ccontent marketing\u201d and do not refer to a specific company.<\/span><\/li><li class=\"gspb_iconsList__item\" data-id=\"1\"><svg class=\"\" style=\"display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewbox=\"0 0 1024 1024\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path style=\"fill:#565D66\" d=\"M871.696 166.932l-526.088 526.088-193.304-193.304c-9.372-9.372-24.568-9.372-33.942 0l-56.568 56.568c-9.372 9.372-9.372 24.568 0 33.942l266.842 266.842c9.372 9.372 24.568 9.372 33.942 0l599.626-599.626c9.372-9.372 9.372-24.568 0-33.942l-56.568-56.568c-9.372-9.372-24.568-9.372-33.94 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"gspb_iconsList__item__text\">Branded searches occur when a user types in the name of a company or product, such as \u201cNike sneakers\u201d or \u201cApple iPhone.\u201d<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we will examine why branded searches are a decisive factor in the success of an online store and how you can leverage the findings of the research for a more effective SEO strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u03b3\u03b9\u03b1\u03c4\u03af-\u03bf\u03b9-branded-\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03b6\u03b7\u03c4\u03ae\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2-\u03b5\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9-\u03ba\u03c1\u03af\u03c3\u03b9\u03bc\u03b5\u03c2-\u03b3\u03b9\u03b1-\u03c4\u03bf-google-seo\">Why branded searches are crucial for Google SEO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good SEO strategy includes actions for both generic and branded searches.
