How to use these infographics

Can I use these infographics on my website?

Yes. Every Search Insider infographic is free to republish on any website, in a presentation or in a newsletter, as long as you link back to the study it comes from. The embed code under each one does that for you.

How do I credit Search Insider?

Link to the original study, not just the homepage. The embed code includes the image, the link and a source line, so pasting it as it is gives the right credit. If you download the image instead, add a line such as: Source: Search Insider, with a link to the study.

Where does the data in these infographics come from?

Each infographic summarizes one Search Insider study of real Google search results, collected and analyzed for that study. The full method, the sample and the limitations are in the article each infographic links to.

Can I change or crop an infographic?

Resizing is fine. Please do not change the numbers, remove the source line or crop out searchinsider.io. If you need a different format, such as a single chart, use the charts inside the study itself, which carry the same terms.
