WHY DID GOOGLE MAKE AN AD FOR PROMOTING “SEARCH” IN INDIA

WHERE IT HAS OVER 97% MARKET SHARE ?!

The ANSWER lies in the FUTURE not the PRESENT.

Google sees a future where a search query starting with a browser visit to www.google.com URL itself may be irrelevant in the fast emerging world of connected smart mobile devices. As is apparent from chart above, Mobile is already 62.5% of traffic in India compared to 37.5% for desktop — So, Google knows that more and more of its target users are on mobile and not on desktops. But even on mobile, the dominant use case is shifting towards access from smart devices rather than from features phones.

• In this new world, Google is trying to in-build as many services as part of its search engine where Google gives you the best contextual information on your home screen based on your location, time of day and previous history information that it has on you using Google Search, Gmail, Youtube, Chrome, Google+ and Google Maps.

• It’s all part of a product called “Google Now” which Google is integrating deep into Android and is part of Google’s iOS search app which users would experience more and more going ahead.

• Even though the Google search “Reunion” ad starts with a desktop experience of Google, it quickly shifts to a mobile only experience where the younger generation kids are firing up Google from their mobile devices and are also experiencing these newer integrated services such as flight information and weather in display card forms.

• Eventually, the idea is to tell users that Google will take care of all the information you need, whenever you’ll want it wherever you’ll want it — you don’t need to install or open that Weather or OTA (online travel agents like MakeMyTrip, ClearTrip, Goibibo) or maps app on your smartphone.

• And hence, the need for this ad right now as Android is starting to take off big time in India and a lot of these users are mobile-first users who’ve probably never used desktop in their lives. If these new users start their web journeys with vertical apps instead of Google, their chances of coming back to Google would be very difficult.
