How this is measured. Share of search is each brand's searches as a share of all searches for the 29 supermarket brands Metis tracks in the UK, in the latest complete week (Sunday to Saturday). "vs last year" compares the brand's searches with the same week in 2025. The same figures power the Share of Brand Search view in the Metis platform.
