After a decade of studying behavioral data from search queries conducted on search engines, through site search data and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topspot.com\/heatmapping-software\/\">analyzing heatmap data<\/a>, we created <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topspot.com\/the-b-smart-method\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The B-SMART\u00ae Method<\/a>\u00a0to provide marketers and business owners a structure on how to target their specific audience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/BSMART_Method_Registered_Logo.png\" alt=\"the b-smart method\" width=\"804\" height=\"278\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At our core, we feel that the search defines the user. For example, a search that includes things like brand and type (like \u201cWeber Genesis gas grill\u201d) can tell us much more about a user\u2019s needs and where they are in the decision-making process than a broad search (like \u201cgrills\u201d).
