到店业务方面，展现了阿里对本地生活服务野心。阿里继加大对外卖与即时零售的投资后，该行认为高 德的升级是其进军到店业务的第一步，与美团-W(03690)大众点评以本地搜索为主的模式形成对比。据 Quest Mobile数据，高德目前拥有1.7亿日活跃用户，每日处理超过1.2亿次搜索及1,300万次本地商户导 航，而大众点评日活为3,300万(约高德五分之一)，不过美团在本地服务的用户心智、累积评价及商户关 系上仍有优势。该行会继续关注高德在本地生活服务的进展，包括即将试点推出的到店团购功能(部分 城市已开始测试)。 外卖方面，瑞银指阿里旗下饿了么的商户拓展有望加速。渠道调查显示，美团外卖覆盖餐厅约560万 间，饿了么则为340万间，两者差距明显(Quest Mobile数据)。基于高德的LBS(定位服务)与用户行为数 据，或有助饿了么更有效拓展中小型商户，特别是在三、四线城市，有望缩小与美团的商户供给差距。 就高德长远变现潜力。虽然初期仍以非变现为主，但若高德措施成功落实，预计用户流量增长将在未来 带来广告、品牌标注等变现机会。现时高德仍归入阿里"其他"板块，截至6月季度仍录得亏损14亿元人 民币。 智通财经A ...
