How we calculate this
- These are the searches our customers track, not a random sample of Google. The set of searches also changes from month to month, so a jump can come from that set instead of from Google.
- A point needs at least 500 different searches in that country and month (100 for numbers from a sample), and a country at least 6 such months.
- A chart starts when its numbers became comparable. Before that, the way results were recorded was different.
- Desktop and mobile are always separate. Depth in pixels comes from a sample of the checks.
