|---|---|---|
| Recommendations “What's the best option for me?” | 23% | |
| Comparisons “How do the top options stack up?” | 5% | |
| Ready to buy “Which one should I actually get?” | 3% | |
| Problem-solving “I have this problem — what fixes it?” | 8% | |
| Informational “How does this kind of product work?” | 1% |
