Our Data Methodology
Here’s the steps we took to produce the data:
- We downloaded 10 year monthly data for every US State for the topic “Pet Adoption”
- We then organized this in one big Excel sheet
- We took the state-by-state 12-month average from the periods 1. July 2008 to 30. June 2009 and compared this to period from 1. July 2017 to 30. June 2018.
- A positive change means the latter period had a higher average monthly search volume
