The "2024 Brand Search Behavior Report" jointly released by Google and Kantar shows that for every 10% increase in brand search share, enterprise conversion rates increase by 25% and customer acquisition costs decrease by 18%. Data from the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade indicates that independent websites with brand search share exceeding 30% have customer loyalty three times higher than the industry average and a 50% increase in repurchase rate. Research from the Global Brand Digital Marketing Alliance (GBDMA) emphasizes that the unique advantages of independent websites in brand narrative integrity, visualized trust endorsements, and accumulated search assets are the core drivers for increasing brand search share.

The three major business costs of low brand search The three major business costs of low brand search

1. High traffic acquisition costs

  • Pay-per-click (PPC) ranking addiction

2. Lack of user trust

  • Non-branded search conversion rate is less than 2% (data from a tool brand).
  • Price comparison leads to profit compression

3. Fragile competitive barriers

  • Category keywords were intercepted by competitors (a case of traffic diversion for a home appliance brand).
