‘Google looking at how to measure brand awareness for search’ – Search Engine Land
Barry Schwartz says, “In A conversation with Google’s Gary Illyes (part 1) podcast at Marketing Land, our sister site, Gary Illyes told us that Google is looking at ways to measure brand awareness in search.
Gary Illyes said this when we asked about how Google sources featured snippets with Google Home voice assistant. Gary explained that measuring brand mentions, without links, is hard, but the user experience team at Google is looking at ways to do this.
In context, Danny Sullivan asked Gary what publishers get out of Google Home saying the name of the site. Is there any ranking benefit to it? Does it lead to any traffic to your site? Gary explained that he first discovered Search Engine Land through brand mentions in forums, not through a link. He then goes on to explain that the Google team is looking at ways to measure “brand awareness.””.
