Here at Skai, we thought it would be fun to use country-level search stats to make some predictions about who will come out on top so without further adieu, here’s how the World Cup of search would play out…
Germany vs Argentina

The country boasts a strong click-through rate as well — a sign of relevant and tailored delivery to searching consumers. But, if we’re really going to pick a winner, we need to look additional performance.
Of all the teams, Germany leads the way with the most goals scored. If we think about goals as conversions, Germany has the upper hand over Argentina in the search world too. Quarter over quarter (QoQ), Germany saw a 39% uptick in conversions while Argentina Q2 conversions suffered a slight dip over Q1. Year-over-year (YoY), Argentina has seen massive growth with conversions up a whopping 210%.
Germany also comes out a winner when looking at conversion rates both on the pitch and in search. Germany’s shot to scoring ratio on the field results in a 19% conversion rate while in the search world, the country is saw a 55% boost in conversion rate QoQ.
Finally, if we look at the return both countries are able to drive, Germany shines. Both QoQ and YoY, Germany’s return on ad spend is up and growing while Argentina has remained flat compared to last year and down from the previous quarter.
