Questions Each State Googles More Frequently Than Any Other State

http://blog.estately.com/2016/10/how-to-questions-each-state-googles-more-frequently-than-any-other-state/



When Americans don’t know how to do something, they won’t rest until they’ve figured it out, usually through the power of Google searches. So whether they’re learning how to rid the yard of moles, or figuring out how to buy a home in a competitive market, Americans utilize the power of Google to show them just how to do it.

Here at Estately, we were determined to find out which how-to questions internet users in each state asked more frequently than others. What we uncovered was both surpristing and extremely predictable. Using Google Autocomplete, we compiled hundreds of the most common how-to questions Americans type into the Google search bar. We then ran those searches through Google Trends to determine which state queried each of these selected searches the most over the past 5 years.

To be clear, the list below does not represent what each state Googles the most, it simply shows the searches each state Googles more frequently than the other 49 states and the District of Columbia

As for the Floridians, just go North people. East, West, and South will drown you.
