Buying stages

See where your brand appears in the buying journey.

Group questions into exploration, comparison and choice. Find whether your brand appears when people learn about a service, compare options or look for a supplier.

Group the questions

AMI groups tracked questions by buying stage. Compare your own mentions and those of competitors within each group.

Make the analysis relevant to your goals

A broad explanation and a supplier recommendation serve different needs. Reading them separately helps you choose work that supports the customer journey you actually want to improve.

Review the classification

Open the questions in a stage and adjust a classification when it does not fit. If the framework is not useful for your question set, leave it aside; the rest of the measurements remain available.
