I see no problem at all on measuring it by market share, as a proxy of consumer choice. One just have to keep in mind that the market has to be localized, not aggregated at some huge population.

Market share isn't a good measure unless you can clearly define the market. Make it too narrow and they are at 100%< make it too broad they are near 0% ... especially complicated with products you don't (directly) pay for ...

Should be a county level at most.

But what's the market for Google, from which you're computing market share?
