Coveo’s Latest CX Relevance Report Highlights Search Challenges as Top Customer Frustration
In their fifth annual CX Relevance Report, Coveo, the leading provider of AI-Relevance solutions, revealed that 53% of customers consider website search difficulties as their biggest self-service frustration. This underscores the importance of unified AI-search solutions in enhancing the customer experience. The report, titled “Customer Effort Is at an All-Time High – Is Search The Key?” provides insights into customer behaviors, expectations, and areas of frustration based on a survey of 4,000 U.S. and U.K. customers conducted in partnership with Arlington Research.
The report points out that customers are increasingly turning to self-service options, seeking instant answers in search results, relevant content recommendations, and AI-guided troubleshooting. However, despite this trend, 84% of customers struggle to find information, with 53% specifically citing search as a major frustration. This indicates that the current digital customer experience is falling short of expectations.
According to Patrick Martin, EVP of Global Customer Experience at Coveo, minimizing customer effort is crucial in today’s era of instant gratification. He emphasizes the importance of creating a unified and connected customer experience through AI-Search, advanced generative AI capabilities, and robust content strategies. These tools play a key role in empowering customers to effortlessly access the information they need across different channels, ultimately leading to improved customer satisfaction, loyalty, and profitability.
Key findings from the report include:
– Frustrating digital experiences often lead to customers abandoning websites, but there are opportunities for second chances, especially among Gen Z and Millennials.
– Customers are increasingly seeking generative search experiences for complex service issues, with a growing demand for AI-powered resolutions and virtual assistants.
– While AI-powered digital customer experiences show promise, challenges such as AI “hallucinations” and skepticism remain prevalent.
