Power the
confidence
shift
From consumer
complexity to
profitability with Google AI
Decision-making today is more complex than ever.
In a hybrid world where disinformation is common, and global events impact us personally, the immense sense of uncertainty makes it harder for us to feel confident about decisions.
So we want to be extra certain about the decisions we make.
Over 70% of consumers
want to feel they've done their due diligence, putting enough time into research to make the right decision.1
want to feel they've done their due diligence, putting enough time into research to make the right decision.1
To get
there, we
need to
close the
confidence
gap.
The confidence gap is the space between wondering and knowing, before people arrive at a confident decision.
Closing the gap can be more effortful, given today’s uncertainties.
Getting stuck in the gap can cost us, and businesses.
1 in 3
consumers decided not to buy a brand they were considering because they felt anxious or not sure of their choice.2
These 6 confidence cues get us out of the gap.3
Trusted platforms are the 7th confidence cue.
Google Search is the No. 1 most trusted online platform, and the top platform where consumers in APAC look to find information.4
Trusted platforms are critical to closing the gap.
Viewers rate YouTube ads as significantly more trustworthy, credible, and honest than ads on other video and social media platforms.5
With the
right cues, a
confidence
shift can
happen.
When the right cues appear in the right format, at the right point in a purchase journey, a confidence shift happens for consumers.
With the shift comes growth and profit.
In APAC, consumers who are confident with their product choice before purchasing, are nearly 20% more likely to repurchase that product.6
To power the
shift, immense skill, scale, and speed are needed.
It’s necessary to analyze countless customer journeys and predict purchase pathways in a split second to show up with the right cues, in the right format, at the right time, for numerous customers all at once.
