How Utahns Search for Contractors Has Changed

If your marketing strategy is still relying on 2020 search habits, you are missing high-intent Utah homeowners.

  • AI-Driven Search: Over 15% of daily Google searches have never been searched before, with homeowners typing conversational, problem-focused queries (e.g., “Why is my water heater popping and who fixes this in Sandy?”)
  • Faster Decisions: 3 out of 4 consumers report that AI Overviews and AI Mode help them make faster, more confident buying decisions.
  • Visual & Multimodal: Search is no longer just blue text links; it serves images, videos, and direct booking options immediately.
