Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Semrush (NYSE: SEMR), a leading online visibility management SaaS platform, launched its \u201c2023 Annual Global Issues Index,\u201d the first-of-its-kind study designed to inspire organizations driving change in society.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Index, co-authored by Columbia Professor Jeremy Kagan, reveals the most searched societal issues based on average monthly Google searches between January 2019 and June 2023, and how they rank across 35 countries.<\/p>\n

The study lists the Top 10 issues in each country, as well as a global aggregate ranking, from a group of 24 core issues including racism, gun control, sustainability, pollution, unemployment, mental health, the war on drugs and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cSemrush is known as a force in the industry with reliable data and actionable insights for marketers and businesses of any size. As a company committed to giving back to our own customers and communities, we wanted to use our data collection expertise to build a resource for organizations to do the same,\u201d said Andrew Warden, CMO of Semrush.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Annual Global Issues Index is a study that every business owner and marketer should become familiar with to see what people in their community are most concerned with, and to seek inspiration from businesses who are already driving positive change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Key findings from the report include:<\/p>\n

This year, the top 5 most pressing societal issues based on search across the world include Mental Health (1), War on Drugs (2), Sustainability (3), Public Health (4), Pollution (5).<\/p>\n

In the US, the top 5 most searched social issues in 2023 are Unemployment (1), Mental Health (2), War on Drugs (3), Public Health (4), and Sustainability (5).<\/p>\n

In Europe, online interest in Energy, Pollution, Sustainability, and War on Drugs grew significantly over the past three years.<\/p>\n

In the Oceania region, online interest in Mental Health this year was highest, followed by Public Health. Concerns about the War on Drugs and Sustainability have been growing steadily since 2021.<\/p>\n

In the Middle East, online interest in Education, College Debt and Mental Health grew strongest over the past three years.<\/p>\n

In Africa, Pollution and Sustainability are the highest ranked social issues this year, while in Asia, Mental Health and the War on Drugs rose to the top.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnderstanding the social concerns of different countries can be challenging, especially when trying to compare these issues around the world. Protests, local news, segment surveys, and political debate give some indication, but search volume is an amazing way to gain deeper insights on what populations are concerned with- people with access to the internet turn to search to solve problems and to get more information on topics of interest and debate.<\/p>\n

The trends we see in the Annual Global Issues Index give us a sense of the changing priorities and relative importance of common topics across nations,\u201d said Jeremy Kagan, Columbia University Professor.<\/p>\n

The Annual Global Issues Index was prepared using the Semrush Keyword Magic Tool which collected 157,000+ keywords, phrases and queries related to each of the 24 core issues, to discover the average monthly search volume for each. The total counts were then listed from highest to lowest in each of the 35 countries analyzed, to reveal a Top 10 list in each country, across the last five years.<\/p>\n

The Organic Research tool was then used to identify 3 of the most visited CSR initiatives (by subdomain) being led by businesses, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), or government agencies as a direct response to the Top 10 most searched social issues in 2023. Semrush and Jeremy Kagan plan to co-author this study every September, with the intent to look back at the past five years.<\/p>\n
