Unclaimed situation = a CEP where no brand was detected in its journeys or SERPs · Unclaimed situation volume = situation volume × (1 − brand fit). Situation volume is a proxy for how often the moment happens, not the volume of category-name searches
Brands already show up here (leader: さとふる) → challenge with differentiated content & search; defend if it's yours evidence strong
3 situations with no search evidence linking to ふるさと納税 (category-expansion candidates)
No searches or mentions leading from these situations to ふるさと納税 were found. They are not counted as existing demand (power 0%); treat them as a separate category-expansion task: getting people to think of ふるさと納税 in these moments.

Power = this situation's share of all CEP situation searches (bigger = wider door in) · Brand competition = whether brands show up in this situation's journeys/SERPs · Evidence = strength of the supporting search evidence (strong/medium/weak)
03Content opportunityderived
big needs the category does not reach yet
Three numbers per situation: how big the situation is (a ceiling), how strongly it already leads to the category (connection signal), and the difference (unconnected searches). The bigger the difference, the sooner content should make the connection.
1,719,779Situation searches (monthly, ceiling)
0.26Average connection (search-weighted)
1,270,756Unconnected searches (monthly, content opportunity)74% of situation searches
Situation searches = how often the situation occurs (monthly average): the largest size the category could serve, not the number of people solving it with the category. Connection signal = the average of search connection (direct 1 · linked 0.67 · weak 0.33 · none 0) and AI-answer connection (share of the situation's representative results that name the category; AI Overview or citation 1, other results 0.5), measured parts only. Unconnected = situation searches × (1 − connection). Quadrant cut-offs: median situation searches 85,016 · connection 0.5. 'Not measured' means no results were fetched for that situation; 0 means measured with no mention.
Cell = that month's average volume ÷ overall monthly average (1.0 = average). Bold = peak month.
Monthly search volume per situation over 48 measured months: when and how often each situation occurs. Combined with survey data, it shows both the size of a situation and how it changes.
Rule: growing/declining = trailing 12-month sum vs the prior 12 months ±20% or more / peak month = calendar-month index ≥1.30 / seasonal = max ÷ min month index ≥1.8. Monthly values are measured monthly search volume [measured]; CEP series are sums over measured measured queries [derived]. Unlike survey CEP power (share of respondents), this frequency is search occurrence.

10Audience in the query
Who it is for
Only searches that name an audience (the recipient, companion or user) are counted, and their monthly volume summed. It reads who people search for, and with whom, straight from the queries.
Measured queries × fixed lexicon classification [derived]. A query naming two audiences counts in both.
11Evidence grade
What the qualitative attributes rest on
Nano intents, KBFs, constraints, avoidances, thresholds and reasons to believe carry one of four labels. Measured means the condition exists as real search queries with measured monthly volume. Consensus means Google's SERP and AI Overview state the same thing across several queries. A SERP is ranked and summarized from the click feedback of the people who searched that query, so content that repeats across queries and independent sources is read as what that society agrees on about the topic.
Sum of monthly volume of measured queries that state the attribute's condition: queries containing its key terms verbatim, or queries that say the condition in other words (condition word checked, passed a separate review). Attributes hitting the same query set are merged. Trend uses 48 months of monthly volume (last 12 vs prior 12 months).
Content that recurs in the SERP/AI Overview of several queries. The number of queries and their summed monthly volume is the size of the consensus. This layer covers what search volume cannot measure directly: cautions, recommended values, reasons to believe.
12Search data used in this report
A CEP is a situation that many search signals point to together, not a single keyword. This shows how much related-search, search-path, search-cluster, SERP text, PAA and AI Overview data was collected, and which of it served as evidence for each CEP's scene (when, where, why, with whom) and its nano context, KBF, constraints and avoidances.

Which brands search AI names in which situation
For each CEP's queries we checked whether category brands are mentioned in Google's SERP and AI Overview, weighting the AI Overview body most. Unlike paths (the brand consumers searched next), this is the brand search AI offers as the answer for that situation. Situations where no brand appears are where content and GEO can claim the spot first.
Of 10 CEPs with SERPs checked, 10 have no category brand in the AI search answer at all.
★ = named in the AI Overview body. Share scores 2 for an AI Overview mention and 1 for cited sources, PAA or top organic results, per CEP query (presence only). Fewer SERPs means a more provisional read. [derived·SERP]
MMS = Σ(CEP power × share) ÷ measured CEP power (brands sum to 1) · MPen = power share of CEPs where the brand appears · NS = number of linked CEPs · SOM = power-weighted mean share within linked CEPs. Identity MMS = MPen × SOM. Expected MMS = brand-name volume share; advantage = MMS − expected.
Computed on 4/10 measured CEPs (power sum 76%). Size: brand-name volume share ≥30% large · <10% small · else medium. KPI (EBMI): small=MPen · medium=NS · large=SOM; MMS is everyone's KGI. Brand-name volume is the bare brand query, so multi-category brands (Samsung, LG) include demand outside this category and may be oversized.
Strategy by brand size · 楽天ふるさと納税(No focal brand; example uses the #1 brand by MMS.) Medium: raise the number of linked CEPs (NS), starting with big situations where we are absent. Targets: 住宅ローン

what this map does not say
Any brand share / response-priority judgment ("how a brand is doing") holds only where brand linkage was actually measured for that CEP; check the measured ratio in Evidence readiness just below. Where many CEPs are unmeasured, treat brand-related conclusions as provisional.
Search reflects familiarity and purchase-consideration more strongly than unaided recall; in person-level validation, recognition alone drove search only 1.22x (near-negligible), while familiarity/consideration were clearly larger, reaching 7.0x (smartphones) / 5.3x (autos) when all 5 positive brand attitudes were held (Dotson et al., Google). This correlation is confounded by brand size (bigger brands move on many metrics at once), and validation was done at brand-total level.
Existing/habitual buyers don't disappear from search; the same study found brand owners searched their brand 2.5-3.5x more than non-owners (Dotson et al., Google). But much of that is non-need-expressing (brand-name/navigational/support queries), so this map's need-type CEP distribution skews toward new-entry/switch-consideration demand.
Brand share is relative within the measured set; an unqueried brand x CEP pair is [no data], not zero.
Paths are aggregate graph flow, not one person's timeline; "transition" is a modeled statistic.
CEP power's denominator is classified queries, not people; it isn't directly comparable to survey-based CEP power (denominator = people); the same person's 10 queries count as 10 votes on this map.
Queries that pick by naming a brand/origin are closer to a search mode than a situation, and differ in kind from other CEPs - they're bucketed separately to avoid contaminating need-type CEPs, so when counting "number of entry situations," we recommend excluding this item and the unclassified long tail.
Before decisions like budget/resource allocation, we recommend pairing this with survey-based recall measurement (person-level CEP power / share of mind).
The code discarded 106 AI-suggested item(s) lacking evidence (evidence is enforced).
Of 80 qualitative attributes: 21 measured (26%), 34 consensus (42%), 16 derived, 9 assumption. Measured means the condition exists as search queries, not that it drives purchase. Consensus is the social common sense Google has organized, not a fact check.
Evidence readiness: ready · All 10 CEPs have measured search queries; brand linkage measured in 5 of them

CEP Finder 2.1 run; input "ふるさと納税" (depth: standard)
Volume is average monthly volume (trailing 3-month monthly average) [measured]. Power's denominator is the set of queries classified into CEPs.
Brand share uses one method per CEP: brand transitions on search paths / co-searched queries (measured co-occurring queries) / brand presence in search results (brand appearance in category-scoped SERPs/AI Overviews); never blended.
A CEP is a unit of "situation/scene," not "person"; from a penetration angle: more entry situations means a wider door for non-customers and light users.
Irrelevance screening: quarantined 38 homonym/other-market keyword(s) from the collection net (e.g. 節約レシピ, 節約ご飯, 住宅ローン 控除 住民税…)
Extracted 0 KBF/constraint/RTB/nano-context signal(s) directly from SERP AI Overview/PAA text and applied to CEPs (evidence quoted verbatim)
4 CEP(s) with unmeasured brand linkage; can be expanded via a deep run
Give one keyword (category, product, service or brand) and it finds category entry points (CEPs) from real search paths, related searches, search volumes, SERPs and AI Overviews, then ranks them in a report. Marketers and brand managers use it to choose campaign situations and messages. Data comes from ListeningMind DaaS search behavior and Google results for Korea, Japan and the US.
