Who Are The Companies We All Want To Know About?

With Apple and Google in the list at one and two and Amazon also in the top six it's easy to see how the digital economy has come to dominate, but Matthew Debbage, president of Creditsafe's American-Pacific division, explains that that would be a simplistic viewpoint. "While the power and influence of the digital giants is obvious," said Debbage, "it would be a mistake to ignore the importance of what some might call the real economy with companies such as GE, Walmart, Pepsi, 3M, Home Depot and General Motors all high on the list. However the fact is that these companies would have easily filled out the top 10 on their own just a few years ago."

Further analysis of the data reveals a number of surprises when the most-searched for company is revealed for each state. Again the obvious candidates can be seen with companies that are either very large in their region or synonymous with their state standing out such as Amazon in Washington, General Motors in Michigan or Nike in Oregon. However Debbage points out that there are several outliers or results that either defy or confirm expectations. "A number of the most-searched companies either reflect their state's heritage and economy such as Royal Caribbean Cruises for Florida or Arrow Electronics in Colorado," he explained "but there are also a number that are just there because that's where they happen to be based such as either Honeywell International topping the list for New Jersey or Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway being the most searched-for company in Nebraska."

"It's really intriguing to see just which companies our customers are interested in," added Debbage, "and it just goes to show the power of the information held within a business credit report which can reveal vital information on any company that you are doing business with or just want to find out more about."
