The customer acquisition funnel has been labeled differently over the years but most often begins with awareness and ends with a purchase decision. The top-down nature of the funnel suggests advertisers that create interest or pour awareness into the top of the funnel will reap the rewards as purchase decisions flow out the bottom. Although this model still holds true, search should not be pigeonholed in one or two stages. In fact, search is proving to be an effective tool in each stage of the funnel -- first hear, further learn and decision -- and research reveals many insights for advertisers seeking to accomplish more.
