                                    A buying trigger is a situation or event that makes someone willing to make a purchase. By identifying the context of when a person decides to purchase a product, brands can understand what matters to the customer at that moment and optimize marketing. Brands can also claim a non-obvious buying trigger for their product. For example, Kit Kat linked its product to taking a break, while Rolex connected its product to moments of accomplishment.

                                    Reddit saw very little growth in organic traffic over the past 5 years despite the amount of user-generated content (UGC) on the platform. However, it has seen a huge increase and seemingly benefited from every core algorithm update in the past 5 months. This is likely part of a larger trend where Google is starting to favor more UGC and first-hand experience in SERPs.
