According to the latest GB Driving License Data from Gov.uk, over 40 million people in Great Britain hold a full driving license. That’s a lot of people that should know a thing or two about cars.
HOWEVER, new research by private reg company click4reg.co.uk has found a large majority of people in Britain rely on the power of Google search to provide them with the answers they need when it comes to the day-to-day running and care of their car.
To achieve the data, click4reg.co.ukinputted “how to” and selected “car” in the keyword analytics section of online visibility and marketing tool SEM Rush. The 15 most common searches were extracted and listed (see below.) Please note: ‘volume’ is the average number of monthly searches for a given keyword over a 12-month period.
The Most Commonly Searched Car Questions on Google:
Click4reg.co.uk found the number one motor vehicle query Brits ask Google is ‘how to jump start a car.’ In fact, 9,900 people in Great Britain type this query into the Google search bar every month.
