NorthPage Research Approach

The Problem

Decision makers and buyers face a confusing collection of online information in their quest to learn more about important topics. With online search as their primary means of finding information, the vast majority of search-driven information consists of ads and “advertorials”, vendor press releases and Websites and topical news coverage.

 

For every resource of value about a specific product, service or topic, there are more than 1,000 distracting, incomplete or inaccurate pages and resources related to that topic. As a result, buyers and decision makers are overwhelmed, misled and frustrated by having wasted much of the time they have spent online. Ultimately, they find what marketers want them to see – rather than what would most help them.

 

And, the problem is getting worse as the jungle of online information continues to grow rapidly, with the number of product, service and topic Web pages doubling every 6-9 months.
