PC OEM reach (vs HP, Lenovo)

Executive read: Dell’s panel footprint is substantial but trails HP on unique reach (19.1K vs 13.5K, 30 days). Traffic is overwhelmingly desktop and support-oriented on-site (BIOS, drivers, login). Acquisition is diversified beyond Google: Bing leads external referrers, with meaningful AI (ChatGPT), affiliate, and enterprise SSO/Salesforce paths—segment B2B vs consumer when acting on these signals.

Takeaway: Dell.com in this panel behaves like a desktop-first support and configuration destination—not a mobile commerce front. Creative and UX tests should prioritize desktop journeys; mobile may under-index panelists vs true population.

Acquisition themes

Non-Google search is the largest external bucket (Bing + DuckDuckGo + Yahoo + Brave).
Enterprise workflows (Salesforce Lightning, Microsoft SSO) rank in the top three—often post-login support, not net-new shoppers.
AI discovery: ChatGPT sends measurable traffic—worth tracking alongside SEO for “how do I fix…” intents.
Affiliate & deal sites (Capital One Shopping) suggest price-sensitive visitors.

Action: Build two views—consumer acquisition (search, social, AI, affiliates) vs logged-in employee/partner (Salesforce, SSO)—before reallocating paid media.

3 Search & keywords

Top on-site search terms on dell.com (panel). Some rows reflect URL-parameter noise from other retailers—flagged below.

Keyword / query	Type	Searches
(empty)	Noise	3,839
dell.com	Nav	1,305
bios jumper	Support	736
bios update	Support	358
dell.com support	Support	367
iDrac 6 java	Enterprise	468

dell support assist download	Support	178
04PWF8 / 4M7M013	SKU / parts	1,194
:price-desc (facets)	Noise	1,547

Demand split: After removing empty and facet noise, the meaningful tail is support & drivers (BIOS, Wi‑Fi, SupportAssist, login)—not broad “laptop deals” shopping. Content and SEO should reinforce deflection to self-service and structured answers for high-intent repair queries; paid search can lean on problem-aware keywords that mirror this panel behavior.
