Have You Used Google’s “Wonder Wheel”? Here’s How!

by Carol Cole-Lewis on September 30, 2009

Get better search results using Google’s “Wonder Wheel” – it’s a cool tool that allows you to graphically see the relationship of search results to your search term. Not quite sure what I mean? Here’s an example:

Search for the term “Lake County Chamber” in Google. At the top of your found results, you’ll see a “+” sign in the upper left hand corner (see the red circle below.) Click on the “+”:

Here’s what appears. You’ll notice a list of methods in the left hand column for honing down your search. See the “Wonder Wheel” choice in the red circle below? Click on it:

Here’s what appears when you click on “Wonder Wheel”:

You can then click on the individual links branching out from “Lake County Chamber” to follow those search results.

Why not search for your own name and the name of your business to see how it appears in Google and in “Wonder Wheel”!
