What if you could steer influence easily?

It’s said social is influential because we spend a lot of time there
![Page 7: Lindex think tank google & influence](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051513/54740ae0b4af9fb90a8b562d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
But people don't usually buy directly through social.

And the Quarterly ARPU proves this

Imagine where people ‘tell’ you they want influencing?

Trust across media
Below is the Edelman ‘trust barometer. In the developed world, Social Media is about half as trusted as search results. And search results are nearly as trusted as traditional media.
Search gives you information you trust, when you ask for it.

So do people ask ‘consideration’ questions on Google?Google wanted the answer, so they commissioned Shopper Science to investigate and make sense of online ‘consideration’ behaviour. 5,000 panellists were used. (that is 5,000 people below)
5,000

Trust in search has affected buyer behaviour: ZMOT
We now use Google to ask buyer questions:
● reviews● analysis● trusted opinions● detail

The results were very interestingGoogle found searching online for ‘shopper information’ was as popular as asking friends and family for buying advice. Google group the information sources below as ‘Zero moment of truth’ : ZMOT (odd name I know)
![Page 16: Lindex think tank google & influence](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051513/54740ae0b4af9fb90a8b562d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Users touch lots of information sources when in ‘consideration’On average users look at 10.4 sources of information, mostly online before buying. And the percentage of people influenced by ZMOT by sector ranges from 61% (Grocery) to 99% (Travel)
Category: Sector

Google kicks ass on monetization...PPC click share must be HUGE?!

Not so...PPC only accounts for about 7% of clicks. The other 93% of clicks go to natural search.

306% CTR on Brand SERPS using Google WMT data
