Let’s have a look at the key stats:
- USA – 33% of all search
- Canada – 16% of all search
- Taiwan – %26 of all search
- UK 23% of all search
- Hong Kong – 20% of all search
And so on.
Obviously, Google is still streaks ahead of Bing, but considering that Bing has been profitable since Q3 2015 and are still growing, they are not going away anytime soon.
If you do not yet have Bing as part of your search strategy, it may be time to reconsider.
