NEW YORK–Credit unions aiming to proactively respond to members’ financial uncertainties or to update the information on their websites will want to pay attention to a new study on the kinds of questions consumers are Googling.
Forbes Advisor, a financial comparison site, said it analyzed thousands of credit-related search terms to see which is Googled the most, with the most common phrase inquiring how to obtain a good credit score.
The data indicated that the question is Googled on average 109,000 times every month in the U.S. alone, according to Forbes Advisor.
The other questions asked:
- “What is APR?” was the second most frequently Googled question, receiving an estimated 59,000 average monthly searches in America.
- In third place was “How to build credit?”, which is Googled 40,000 times a month on average.
- The fourth most frequently asked question was, “What is the highest credit score?”, with 25,000 monthly searches.
- The fifth most frequently asked question was, “What does APR mean?,” with 19,000 searches each month, according to Forbes Advisor.
