Second Favorite Dinosaur is 'Triceratops', First Place is...!? Survey of 7,767 People Reveals Reality of 'Classic Popularity' and 'Indifferent Layer' [Primary Data Effective in SEO/AI Era, Survey Outsourcing]

Mediaseek Inc. operates 'ICONIT Research,' which conducts daily surveys for app users within 'ICONIT (ICONIT),' a QR/barcode reader app with over 36 million cumulative downloads.

In recent years, with changes in search results and the spread of generative AI, the evidence supporting the credibility of information has become more important than ever. This has drawn attention to 'primary data.' Primary data refers to data that a company directly collects or verifies, rather than summaries or inferences from other companies. It includes survey results, user behavior data, and verification data.

Primary data can enhance the persuasiveness of articles, press releases, and sales materials, differentiating them in SEO and serving as easily quotable and referencable evidence in AIO/LLMO (AI Optimization).

ICONIT Research undertakes survey outsourcing for companies and organizations, offering consultation from question design to data collection, aggregation, and report creation.

This release presents the survey results on favorite dinosaurs and the reasons behind them, conducted among 7,767 individuals.
