Eye Tracking Reveals Consumer Insights

                                                                               Observation: Brand fixations

Best Practices: Place your brand in the title, URL, and as close to the start of the
description as possible in your ad and organic listings



                                                            Observation: Subjects with established affinity

                                                             listing, jumping down to the organic listings 73%

                                                     Best Practices: Ad listings appear to have a greater
                                                     opportunity to lift brand affinity among new customers;
                                                     write and target them as such – especially for upper

In Summary…



 1 Your investment in brand advertising increases with search
 2 Advertise on unbranded and branded keywords
 3 Tailor your ad to prospects, those with no established brand affinity
