Compete.com just announced the availability of Search Analytics Select™, a new service designed for marketers looking to combine their customer segmentation strategies with search engine marketing.

The Search Analytics Select™, provides the following information including competitive search performance within specific segments:

1. How many “searchers” are in a given segment each month?
2. What terms and engines does this segment use?
3. How does my segment performance differ versus rivals?
4. What can I do to improve my performance?

I haven't seen any examples of Search Analytics Select™ reports yet, so I don't have an opinion, yet, on Search Analytics Select™, .  However, I did notice some segmentation on Compete Search Analytics which I have had extensive access to.

I'm assuming the segmentation by audience in Search Select will be similar to what exists in Compete Search Analytics
