A hot custom question type you might want to use, is our Mock Online Search Simulation.

Mimicking the user experience of conducting a product search on a website like Google, Amazon, or Yahoo, it’s great for brand recognition, competitive mapping, and behavioral insight studies.

The question is structured in two parts:

  • Step 1: Simulated Search Entry
    Respondents are presented with a mock-up of a familiar search engine interface (e.g., Google) and prompted to type a keyword or phrase relevant to a product or brand.
  • Step 2: Simulated Search Results Page
    After “searching,” they’re taken to a static but realistic search results image where they can interact by selecting one or more results they believe are associated with a particular company, product type, or category.

When clicked, a red highlight box appears around the selected result, giving visual confirmation of their choice(s).

This format leverages a static image with HTML image mapping or overlay logic to track where participants click, capturing realistic decision-making behavior in a controlled environment.

And the simulation is highly flexible and can be applied to a wide variety of platforms (e.g., retail sites, video platforms, map searches) and doesn’t require a live web connection, ensuring consistency across respondents. By the way, be sure to read up on the necessity of a strong Go-To-Market (GTM) Strategy.
