Modifiers in AnswerThePublic allow users to refine search data based on user intent, making it easy to tailor results for different stages of the customer journey. By selecting or excluding specific modifiers, users can highlight the most relevant insights for each stage.
Questions
Questions are categorized by interrogative words like "how," "why," and "who," revealing what users are curious about, especially in early research phases. For example, a user exploring home fitness might search “How do resistance bands work?” or “What benefits does yoga offer?” These questions indicate awareness-stage interests, allowing content to address beginner concerns with blog posts, FAQs, or introductory guides.
Prepositions
Prepositions show common uses or scenarios, helping uncover how users think about a product’s application. For instance, someone researching running shoes might search “running shoes for flat feet” or “running shoes with extra cushioning.” These searches suggest users are in the consideration phase, evaluating specific needs. Content here might focus on product comparisons, feature highlights, or targeted recommendations.
Comparisons
Comparison modifiers are useful for understanding competing options or alternatives, often signaling users close to a decision. A search like “Nike running shoes vs. Adidas” or “best wireless earbuds for sound quality” suggests a readiness to choose based on a detailed evaluation. Tailoring results to show only comparison modifiers allows content to focus on product reviews, side-by-side analyses, or guides that highlight specific advantages.
Using modifiers in this way helps build reports that clarify data based on what matters most to users at each stage. This ensures that insights are well-aligned with customer needs, helping create valuable, targeted content.
