Matthew Keys
Reliable enough to start your morning with. Toast it again tomorrow.
Summary
Comscore's analysis reveals a shift in consumer behavior from traditional search-based product discovery to "answer behavior," where users ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot for direct product recommendations and purchase decisions. This trend creates new challenges for marketers who must adapt their strategies away from traditional search and advertising approaches, as consumers no longer need to visit multiple websites to make informed purchasing decisions.
