With so many third-party information touchpoints available, it is critical for brands to create a seamless customer experience across all platforms and channels — one that aligns with but extends beyond the brand itself.
In a report conducted in partnership with Yext, Forbes Insights surveyed over 500 consumers to gain perspective on customer search habits and brand trust.
Brands should recognize that third-party sites:
- Play a key role in new customer purchasing decisions
- Provide a more objective perspective on more than one brand in one space
- Are more accessible to those searching for a product or service compared to branded terms
