Traditional vs. Modern Customer Journey
Before the advent of the internet, ads were the immediate stimulus that attracted potential customers; then they contacted the business and entered into the sales process or just bought. In simple terms, potential customers gathered information from advertisements, bought the product or service, and shared their experiences with friends and family. Today the stimulus is the same but with the power of the internet, the consumer can see all the competitors and research their decision before ever talking to you. This is great for us the consumer a huge challenge to a business trying to market the old way.
The reason is simple. In the modern customer journey, seen in the graphic below, you could be very findable but as your customer continues through the buying journey and do business with your competition…all because you have a 4.3-star rating and they have a 4.5-star rating.

88% of consumers will call or visit a local business within 24 hours after an online search. If your business information is not accurate, potential customers will lose trust in your brand, and you will miss out on sales. We make sure your business is active, accessible, and has accurate listings across all online directories and popular listing sites.

Potential customers don’t approach the first business they find. They read reviews and evaluate your expertise in the industry before they decide if you are the right fit for them.

If your business doesn’t have an online presence, you are losing customers by the minute. Online conversation is a vital element in their purchasing decision. That’s why this stage is called the “zero moment of truth” by Google. Ensure that you play an active role in addressing customer concerns and acknowledging their reviews.
Stage 4: Conversion
This is the stage where all your efforts bear fruit. Potential customers will either purchase your product through e-commerce platforms or contact you through your website.
