Brandwatch, a Cision company, released a new research report titled 'The Question Gap: How Consumers Use Search and Social When Making Decisions' on June 4, 2026. The report identifies a 'question gap' in modern market intelligence, highlighting the behavioral contrast between objective, fact-based signals from traditional search engines like Alphabet Inc. and BingX, and context-rich conversations from social platforms like Reddit and Meta Platforms groups. The study, based on an analysis of automotive purchase questions, reveals that brands relying on only one intelligence source miss crucial consumer insights. Amy Jones, Chief Marketing Officer of Cision, emphasized that combining search and social intelligence provides a clearer view of consumer journeys, unmet needs, and readiness to act.
