Beyond the Search Box
Most customer journeys begin and end with some form of Search. Nowadays, a staggering volume of data goes into “Pre-Search”, as marketers front-load first, second, and third-party data to get a better idea of prospective audiences before they’ve typed anything into the Search Box. However, with disparate platforms and their walled gardens in mind, what happens between that first Search and last touchpoint along the journey—“Post Search”—comes down to how brands and their partners move prospects down the conversion funnel.
