The Search Landscape
Bing is an important part of the search landscape as it powers the searches done using Siri on Apple devices in addition to Amazon Fire and Echo. It is also the default search platform on Acer, Dell, HP and Samsung devices in addition to the web browser, Firefox. Users can access Bing search results from places like their Windows Search box in newer versions of Microsoft Office.
It is also not unusual to see some overlap of the search engines throughout the user buying cycle. As you can see in the Google Analytics report below, users often switch between search engines while researching products or services they’re considering.
The Top Conversion Path Report from Google Analytics is a great tool to use when researching the potential impact Bing has on the form submissions that are occurring on your website. As you can see from the example on the left, Bing often plays a part in the final conversion, even if it isn’t the last step!
