Understanding Customer Journey Maps

What is a Customer Journey Map?#

A Customer Journey Map is a visual representation of the steps a customer takes while interacting with a business, from initial awareness to post-purchase. It highlights their experiences, emotions, and touchpoints.

Why It Matters#

This tool helps businesses identify pain points, optimize processes, and improve customer satisfaction. For home service providers like plumbers or electricians, it can reveal key moments to build trust.

Key Components#

  • Stages: Awareness, Consideration, Decision, Retention.
  • Touchpoints: Website visits, phone calls, service delivery.
  • Emotions: Frustration, relief, satisfaction.

  2. Map out each stage of their journey.
  3. Note emotions and touchpoints at every step.
  4. Analyze and refine based on feedback.
