Google Search Engine Indirect Competitors Analysis
Bing
With a little more than a fourth of all web search traffic, Bing is Google’s first and most visible big rival. If for no other reason than their dedication to enhancing their own structure, Bing is noteworthy to monitor.
By utilizing their own search algorithms to power Yahoo search’s experience, Bing has already grown, and Internet Explorer users (yes, they still exist) virtually exclusively use Bing.
For search marketers, Bing’s tool provides inbound link statistics. It also features advanced searches for particular file kinds and phrase patterns.
DuckDuckGo
The ordinary Internet user now prioritizes privacy and security due to NSA spying, hackers obtaining credit card information, and breaches of personal images. In contrast to Google, which will happily share your information with approved third parties forever, DuckDuckGo aims to provide an alternative.
DuckDuckGo’s popularity is likely to increase as concerns about user privacy become increasingly more pressing. Users are protected from the potential of their search history being looked over or viewed by DuckDuckGo since it doesn’t save any private user search data. This removes the possibility of tailored results.
Since it’s doubtful that Google would significantly alter its attitude on privacy, anticipate the emergence of at least a few new privacy-focused search engines over the next few years.
YouTube
YouTube is still a search engine, even though it isn’t a conventional one. (And sure, we are aware that it is included in the Google umbrella.) In actuality, Google today handles over 40,000 searches each second.
This equates to 3.5 billion daily queries, making it the second most popular search engine online.
YouTube is a terrific alternative if you want something visual, even though you won’t find academic papers, blog articles, or site pages there. YouTube has swiftly emerged as the go-to site for learning/educational inquiries and DIY SEO searches.
Boardreader
An easy approach to browsing through forums and online communities is what drives Boardreader, a straightforward search engine.
This sort of search engine is extremely specialized and valuable because it may affect how Google (or a significant rival) responds to certain kinds of searches.
Boardreader searches the web for your search terms using a unique algorithm only when they exist in the body of a forum thread, post, or communication. Boardreader is useful if you’re seeking a discussion on a certain issue rather than just information or direct access to that topic.
Quantcast
Quantcast is helpful for search marketers not just because it’s establishing a new trend in search but also because it may offer insightful data on demographics and online traffic.
Quantcast, whose reach is now relatively constrained, intends to give each search user comprehensive online visitor information about numerous sites, increasing the transparency of the Internet as a whole. While Google strives to maintain the highest level of secrecy regarding its algorithms and data, Quantcast is all about providing open insights and an intriguing counterpoint to the search giant.
Yandex
Outside of the United States, the Internet exists. And although most of us Westerners consider Google to be absolutely normal, the majority of the globe actually has a very different idea of what constitutes a good search engine. And Yandex is one of the pioneers of this global trend.
Most people in Kazakhstan, Belarus, Ukraine, and Turkey use Yandex, a user-friendly search engine with decent capabilities, as do 45% of Russian internet users.
Despite its strength, Google is not the fastest in breaking news reporting. Though they have significantly improved over the previous two or three years, they still need to be regarded as “real-time. Twitter is the place to go if you want recent news that has been reported directly from the scene.
Over the past several years, Twitter has significantly enhanced its search capabilities, and businesses aware of how to use tags and other tweet structures may significantly increase exposure.
OneSearch
Did you know that at the beginning of 2020, Verizon Media unveiled its own search engine? OneSearch is a privacy-focused search engine that guarantees no cookie tracking, individual profiling, or retargeting of users.
Additionally, they are determined never to retain personal data and divulge it in advertisements. Search results are unbiased and unfiltered, and all search phrases are encrypted.
WolframAlpha
Beginning as a mathematical tool for academic and professional mathematicians, WolframAlpha has subsequently developed into a combined search engine with a strong emphasis on science and math.
WolframAlpha is frequently preferred by users looking for specific math and scientific information over Google because it offers more direct solutions in a quicker interface. Even without only looking for examples of that equation on the web, its search feature can directly solve equations.
While WolframAlpha is specialized and oriented toward mathematicians, Google already offers some calculation capability. It could signal the start of a pattern of catering to particular specialists and giving them only the information they want instead of attempting to deliver the most relevant results to a broad audience.
Crunchbase
Another specialized search engine that searches the web for individuals and companies is Crunchbase. Crunchbase now provides the most concise results if you seek precise information about a business or a particular expert.
Although Google aspires to be an all-inclusive search solution, this sort of search may always be better suited to a more specialized competitor. It provides customers with more individualized results by eliminating pointless review sites, social media postings, or news results and concentrating solely on establishing relationships. Google may one day give more weight to these types of results.
