Where Do Branded Searches on Google Come From? Why do people search for brands on Google? Join us to explore the questions that drive us to make those searches, and what we expect to find. We’ll put search intent under a microscope and unravel the tangled threads of the customer journey as we examine the “why” behind branded searches.
