## Who Was Searched More Often

When setting ad messaging, search scale and rank serve as grounds for comparing the volume of brand interest, not for deciding which information to highlight. According to ListeningMind Brand Finder data for the shoes category in South Korea from Sep 2025 to Aug 2026, monthly average search volume was 633,763 for Skechers and 618,820 for Le Mouton. In the same period, share and rank within the category placed Skechers 7th at 4.7% and Le Mouton 8th at 4.6%. One year prior, Skechers ranked 8th and Le Mouton ranked 7th, trading positions during this aggregation window. Whether to split messaging should be evaluated by looking at co-searched terms for each brand rather than rank changes.

Even if key search demographic groups are similar, assuming the same ad messaging will be effective is difficult. In ListeningMind Brand Finder data for the shoes category in South Korea from Sep 2025 to Aug 2026, women make up the majority for both brands, with those aged 50 and older representing the largest age bracket. For Skechers, the female share is 61.7% and the share of users aged 50 and older is 34.8%, while for Le Mouton the figures are 69.0% and 39.4%, respectively. Rather than unifying messaging based solely on gender and age, verifying plans to segment messaging by co-searched information is needed. Differences in user demographics should not be assumed to have caused the differences in information sought, however. Search user demographics differ from purchasing customer demographics, and search volume does not indicate direct product sales.

## How Do Co-Searched Terms Differ

Searches for Skechers functional line names provide grounds to check whether sufficient information about those lines is being offered. In ListeningMind Brand Finder data for the shoes category in South Korea from Sep 2025 to Aug 2026, Skechers related search queries include item terms such as sneakers and sandals, alongside functional line names such as Go Walk, Max Cushioning, and Arch Fit. Following the most searched query, 'Skechers sneakers' (110,474), come 'Skechers Go Walk' (35,446), 'Skechers Max Cushioning' (26,778), 'Skechers sandals' (26,243), 'Skechers Arch Fit' (23,530), and 'Skechers USA' (17,442). The hypothesis to verify is whether descriptions of the searched product lines match the information users were looking for. The fact that a line name was searched does not confirm a preference for that feature.

Searches for Le Mouton store locations and prices provide grounds to review whether store and pricing information is easy to check alongside product information. In ListeningMind Brand Finder data for the shoes category in South Korea from Sep 2025 to Aug 2026, 'Le Mouton sneakers' recorded 168,302 searches, higher than Skechers sneakers, while 'Le Mouton store' was second highest at 44,464. These were followed by 'Le Mouton Mary Jane' (20,576), 'Le Mouton shoes' (19,551), 'Le Mouton sneakers price' (8,668), and 'Le Mouton Mate' (6,164). Distinguishing searches for product names from searches for store and price information ([intent intelligence](https://daas.listeningmind.ai/en/wiki/intent-intelligence)) helps verify whether users easily find the necessary details on the respective landing pages. Searching for store locations or prices does not establish an intent to visit or buy.

|  | Terms co-searched with Skechers | Terms co-searched with Le Mouton |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Skechers sneakers (110,474) | Le Mouton sneakers (168,302) |
| 2 | Skechers Go Walk (35,446) | Le Mouton store (44,464) |
| 3 | Skechers Max Cushioning (26,778) | Le Mouton Mary Jane (20,576) |
| 4 | Skechers sandals (26,243) | Le Mouton shoes (19,551) |
| 5 | Skechers Arch Fit (23,530) | Le Mouton sneakers price (8,668) |
| 6 | Skechers USA (17,442) | Le Mouton Mate (6,164) |

## How Search Trends Diverged Between the Two Brands

When determining whether search interest increased, establishing a comparison window is the first step. For the same brand, year-over-year and vs. three years ago comparisons reflect changes across different timeframes. In ListeningMind Brand Finder data for the shoes category in South Korea from Sep 2025 to Aug 2026, monthly average search volume for Skechers grew +0.2% year over year and rose +4.2% compared to three years ago.

For Le Mouton, the direction of change varies depending on the comparison period, so summarizing search interest as rising or falling based on a single timeframe overlooks changes during other intervals. In ListeningMind Brand Finder data for the shoes category in South Korea from Sep 2025 to Aug 2026, monthly average search volume for Le Mouton grew 463.3% compared to three years ago, but declined 20.5% year over year.

Differences between period averages alone do not indicate whether searches concentrated at a particular point in time or what caused them to increase or decrease. Therefore, this comparison should not be interpreted as evidence of growth causes or a market adjustment phase.

## What This Comparative Data Can Inform

In advertising, verifying whether guidance tailored to search terms delivers the information users were looking for is essential. For instance, brand marketers can consider linking information on specific product lines to searches for Skechers Go Walk, Arch Fit, and Max Cushioning, while linking appropriate information to Le Mouton searches for 'store' and 'price.' What needs verification is whether the search ad message aligns with the landing page content and whether users can easily locate the searched details on that page. This is the process of turning [search signals into hypotheses](https://daas.listeningmind.ai/en/wiki/search-signals-to-hypotheses), not confirming purchasing stages or intent to inspect physical products based solely on search queries.

When product planners select research items for upcoming products, they review item names and product lines in related search terms. Survey plans can investigate what details users intended to find when searching for Skechers sandals, Go Walk, Max Cushioning, and Arch Fit, or Le Mouton Mary Jane and Mate. This list serves as a reference organizing search interest ([Marketing AX](https://daas.listeningmind.ai/en/wiki/marketing-ax)), and search terms alone do not determine product expansion directions or inventory levels.
