Shortly after announcing the Material 3-inspired redesign for Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides on the web, Google has updated Trends with a visual overhaul. The new and improved Google Trends website makes it easier to access the breadth of resources that the internet giant offers.
The changes begin right on the homepage of the website. You can now explore real-time trends without digging deeper. Google updates trending topics every hour and also provides links to relevant news articles so you can learn more about those topics. The homepage shows trends from your region or country as well as from around the world. The company explicitly tells you where a topic is trending and gives you a graph of search interest in the past 24 hours. You can click on the “Explore” button for more details or visit links to read articles about it.
The latest Google Trends redesign also surfaces tutorials to make use of data on the homepage. You’ll find everything from the basics and advanced Google Trends to understanding the data. Dedicated Trends pages from the editorial team are also on the homepage. Local Year In Search, WNBA Firsts, and Frightgeist are all up front for easy access. You’ll find examples of how newsrooms, nonprofits, and other groups are using Trends data in creative ways as well. All in all, this redesign focuses on easy access to data and content on Google Trends.
Google Trends also gets Material 3 treatment
This redesign of Google Trends brings Material 3 touches to the website. The hamburger menu on the top-left features pill-shaped buttons for Home, Explore, Trending now, Year in search, and more. The first three options also get separate tabs on the homepage itself, with the country switcher on the right side. Cards on Explore and Trending now tabs get rounded corners while the whole website features a light blue shade in the absence of Dynamic Coloring. As usual, you can change your preferred language at the bottom of the website.
Google’s Material 3-based design overhaul of Trends comes shortly after it announced similar redesigns for its Workspace tools on the web. Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides will all get the Material 3 design language over the next couple of weeks. The company previously updated Search Console and Gmail as well. More first-party Google websites may get similar redesigns in the coming months as the internet giant streamlines its products on Android and the web.
