Dog Food

According to our friends at Google there were approximately 2.2 million searches in the month of October for the keywords/search terms,  "dog food." Which prompted me to ask, do that many pet dog owners not know what to feed their dog? Are they searching for a better brand of dog food? Are they looking for better prices for dog food? Are dog supplies limited in the place where they live or do they just prefer shopping at an online pet store for their pet food needs? I decided to do a little research and see just what it is that dog owners are looking for in the way of dog food.

2.2 million searches for dog food is a lot of people online during a one-month stretch looking at various brands and types of dog food. I know what my dog likes to eat, don't you? What are all these people looking for? There will be another 2.2 million searches for dog food in November, December, January, February… you get the idea, a LOT of searches for dog food. Just how many kinds of dog food are there? Do dog foods follow any kind of trends? I would like the answers to these questions, not just because I am a curious person or dog lover but because it would help me target my audience and help narrow their search, not just for dog food but for pet supplies in general. I am always searching the top online pet stores for ideas for my own pet store, PetPx.

In the case of dog food, it is mind boggling that so many people search for it when other dog supplies are much more interesting to surf for, things such as dog beds – 450k searches, dog collars – 550k searches, and pet grooming – 368k searches. I can understand the popularity of those kinds of dog supplies and services and we will talk about each one in future posts.

Top Five Search Results For Dog Food

When you Google the words – dog food – you can see that the top five search results, (not including the sponsored links) are not surprising. Major brands such as;  iams, Purina, and Petco, a major retailer of  dog supplies and other pet supplies have spent millions of SEO dollars to get that placement. Call me stupid but I usually don't click on sponsored links, I know people are paying for the position and it makes me nervous. Nowhere was I able to find the answer as to why there are so many searches for dog food but I am happy that there are and I hope that I can help fellow dog lovers find what they are looking for.
