Search engine behemoth Google has given B&T an exclusive look at the words, things, businesses we Australians are most likely to search for.
The results – detailed in full in the latest print edition of B&T – make for interesting insight into the Googling habits of Aussies.
Maile Carnegie, CEO of Google Australia (pictured above), said the results had primarily been taken from what people were searching on their mobiles. “On mobile, our expectations are immediate and contextual,” she told B&T.
Carnegie added that the new research “showed how Australians are behaving on their mobiles and what what our broader search trends reveal about our national psyche”.
