Organic vs Places (Maps) Searches

[adriandg]

I realize one can use the google adwords keyword tool to get rough organic search volume, but Is there a method to see how much a keyword is searched within specifically google places?  That is, seperated out from the organic search?

Ideally i would like to see how often certain keywords are search for in google, v.s. in google places/maps directly.

maybe it is not possible.

cheers,

Not possible I am pretty sure, you can only split up data from - Mobile sources and desktop devices currently.

Google needs to develop some type of analytic offering showing an overall view for places accounts, it is very limited what you can do if you manage an account with say 800 locations in places.

Hi Storwell,

Unfortunately, there is no tool that I know of that does this. I was actually discussing this recently with some other good Local SEOs and the consensus was no, this doesn't exist. It would be nice if it did!

One fellow suggested making a rough estimate from the number of Adwords impressions that actually trigger local results in the SERPs, but we agreed, that was kind of a tough approach.

Sorry not to have a can-do answer for you on this one. There are many local research tools that have yet to be developed. The market - though giant - is still new-feeling to many, and rather under-served.

Kind Regards,

Miriam
