One interesting thing we notice about banking sector is although SBI one of the largest bank of India it is standing second rank in Google search query while HDFC bank is on top with highest number of search query. On Third number we have ICICI bank. Which means customer is showing more interest in searching product related to HDFC bank compare to SBI or other.

If we take insurance sector LIC is on top & ICICI Prudential is on second. Surprisingly SBI life is missing in this list.

For Investment category ICICI direct is on TOP with maximum number of search followed by Sharekhan & HDFC securities.

Here are some interesting facts shown by this survey and report.

1)      Over 70 % of the Internet users who were in the market to buy financial products changed their mind about the product and brand after research.  This means people does research before purchasing product. As people change their mind it simply means financial advisor, agents or other mediator are not giving proper solution/advise to their client or people do enough research on internet before purchasing product.

2)      According to the report, the influence of Internet research in changing mind was the highest for loans 75 % for home loans & 73 % for personal loans.

3)      Again in Insurance sector this change of mind after search is quite high 69 % people change their mind for life insurance,   70% for motor insurance and 70% for health insurance. This clearly shows that how much wrong guidance our insurance advisor gives to end customers.

4)      While the final purchase of the product or service is still done offline – internet research influenced 2 out of 3 applications – with 24 % users buying/applying online, 70 % applying offline and 38 per cent buying offline influenced by online
