It may come as no surprise that Travis Kelce was one of the most-searched people on Google this year, but what about the fact that the Chattanooga area ranked No. 1 in the US in top trending searches for pain management treatment near me?

5 top trending “near me” searches in the Chattanooga area

"Air quality near me" | We dove into Chattanooga's air quality history in early 2023.
"Pawn shop near me" | On a related note, check out these local flea markets, co-ops, vintage, and resale shops.
"Pain management treatment near me" | We have a feeling these searchers will enjoy NOOGA Wellness, a newsletter collaboration with Erlanger that shares health-focused topics.
"Plasma donation near me" | Check out other ways to volunteer locally.
"Optometrist near me" | Check out what's behind these hazel green eyes.

The fact that “NOOGAtoday” wasn’t a top local search only hurts our feelings a little bit. There’s always next year.
