  • Trend: Declining search interest, though Wikipedia interest is growing (+5.3 YoY).
  • Stores: Contested market with 48 apps and 23% share held by giants.
  • Search: Mixed SERP strength; 1 weak, 1 moderate, 1 strong result checked.
  • Economics: Average economics with $4.76 CPC and 4 paid competitor sites.
