Search Marketing Buyer Lifecycle
Find Customers at All Stages of the research/buying lifecycle!
*For Coffee Lovers
- Discover
- “coffee machine” | General/Category top level term, may be mix of early stages and late stages
- Research
- “coffee machine review” or ” compare coffee machines” | Consumer not quite ready to buy -might be influenced by marketing messages that concern benefits of a particular unit/type
- Compare
- “cheap coffee machines” | Consumer is much closer to the purchase stage but price sensitive
- “best coffee machine” “top rated coffee machines”| Consumer is not ‘ready’ to buy (yet!) but is easily influences by marketing messages concerning benefits of a particular type/unit/feature
- Purchase
- “Pasquini Livietta” | Consumer had a Brand and Model in mind and is ready to purchase due to the specific model numberand Brand preference indicated in the query.
I hope that helps explain the Search Marketing Consumer Buyer Lifecycle.
P.s.: Yes I am a coffee addict and hobbyist | My Pasquini Livietta Brew Rig is Below 😉
