If you haven&#8217;t already, you should pay close attention to everything that happens before the purchase intent.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">In this article, you will learn what the buyer journey is and the three stages involved, examples included.

Why? Because of the kind of relationship, the information delivered and the company&#8217;s marketing efforts are different at each stage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">As mentioned earlier, the buyer journey goes through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/customer-awareness\/\">customer awareness<\/a>, consideration, and decision stages. Let\u2019s take a look at what each means and review it with an example afterward:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"992\" height=\"452\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/buyer-joruney-stages.jpg\" alt=\"Buyer Journey Stages\" class=\"wp-image-439975\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><strong>1. The Awareness Stage:<\/strong> The discovery of a specific problem or need. Here, the buyer is wondering about the problem to solve: they want to know more about what it is, why it happens, to whom it happens, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><strong>2. The Consideration Stage:<\/strong> The investigation and consideration of the different existing solutions, which to this day are mostly carried out online.&nbsp; Buyer\u2019s questions are solution-focused: how is it resolved, what options do you have, how your price is better (or not) than the competition, etc.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><strong>3. The Decision Stage:<\/strong> The purchase decision is the moment when the prospect is about to become a customer by choosing a particular product or service. In the decision phase, their concern is selecting the best brand among the options researched\/ available.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Awareness of the type of questions a buyer asks at each stage of their purchase cycle allows you to generate specific educational content for each one, offering concrete answers to their problems.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">And this is where another of the keys to this whole process comes in: the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/user-persona\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> user persona<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">. It is essential to have buyer persona profiles that allow you to know who your ideal customers are, and what their characteristics, desires and concerns are. This helps to determine what kind of questions your prospects are asking,&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Buyer Journey Example<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Imagine your business provides complete web design and optimization services to e-commerce platforms.
