Keywords & Trends In The Consumer Electronics Market
Whether you’ve lost some visibility and want to regain it or focus your SEO campaign this year, we’ve got some insights around keywords and trends that can help. First, let’s start with keywords, which can be split into high competition and opportunity.
High-competition keywords are those with high monthly search volume, but every brand is targeting them, making it harder to rank higher in the SERPs. Some examples in our online Consumer Electronics Market Report include ‘phone’, which has 49,000 SV but a 79 competitiveness rating, followed by ‘mobile phone’ and ‘noise-cancelling headphones’.
Opportunity keywords are also high in monthly search volume but low in competitiveness, making it easier to rank high. These tend to be more specific keywords. Some in our Consumer Electronics Market Report include ‘headphones’ with 70,000 SV and 17 competitiveness rating, followed by ‘wireless headphones’ and ‘air purifier’.
Consumer Electronics Market Report trends are split into emerging and receding brands and products. For now, we will cover a snippet of emerging products. A few of those are 'running headphones’, ‘digital camera’, and ‘mobile shop near me,’ highlighting the importance of localised SEO.

Consumer Electronics & Social Brand Reach
Social media and brand reach are two critical factors in SEO: how well you build your brand on social media and how well your brand name gets searched. Both are vital in ensuring your name is in front of the user when it comes time for them to convert, influencing them before they are even in the buying journey.
In our Consumer Electronics Market Report, we look to who’s doing the best in the social media scene and brand reach, with an owned social scoring system. On social media and brand reach, the brand dominating is Samsung, with a total of nearly 163 million followers over social platforms, 550,000 monthly brand searches and an owned social score of 324,788! Interestingly, top competitor Apple has over double the monthly brand searches but an owned social score of only 76,450, leading them to rank second to Samsung. Samsung has upped its social game from previous years, utilising both image and video content to demonstrate the quality of its products. It’s clearly paying off and helping build not only the name of their brand but also the brand-to-audience engagement.

Trust In The Online Consumer Electronics Industry
Buying anything online takes trust, especially expensive electronics or goods for your home. People want to know your service and your products are legit before spending their money on your brand. This is why trust is such an important factor for users and Google, especially since Google rolled out the EEAT update. Trust is vital in SEO.
One way to show that you are trustworthy is through reviews. In our Consumer Electronics Market Report, we cover the number of reviews and review scores of all the brands in the industry. The top 10 most trustworthy sites are:
1. ao.com
2. espares.co.uk
3. richersounds.com
4. markselectrical.co.uk
5. currys.co.uk
6. hmv.com
7. wexphotovideo.com
8. appliancesdirect.co.uk
9. mpb.com
10. scan.co.uk
The Fastest Consumer Electronic Sites
Page speed is an important factor in SEO. Users want a fast site and a fast buying experience. If your site is too slow, you’ll lose a conversion. It's vital to optimise your site for mobile since most users are predominantly mobile users, but having good site speed for both desktop and mobile is key.
The 10 sites with the fastest page speed in our Consumer Electronics Market Report are:
1. russellhobbs.com
2. pcpartpicker.com
3. sageappliances.com
4. gopro.com
5. pcspecialist.co.uk
