Questions

Questions about the index.

What does the Barcelona AI demand index measure?

Monthly Google searches for a fixed basket of AI-service phrases — such as AI agencies, AI for business, AI chatbots and AI automation — in Barcelona and across Spain, in English, Spanish and Catalan. It measures demand for AI services, not interest in AI in general.

Where do the numbers come from?

From Google Ads search volumes, fetched through DataForSEO’s Keywords Data API. Google rounds small volumes and publishes none below its threshold, which is why Catalan-language searches for these services show as zero.
