American Homeowner Media Research 2024

This research explores the media habits of U.S. homeowners, showing how they balance time between digital and traditional platforms. It provides insights into age, income, household makeup, and regional differences. This year, we took it a step further with deeper insights into social media, AI, expectations on website user experience, and factors that influence homeowners’ decision making on choosing a home services contractor.  This study is focused on the home services category, but regardless of industry, this study helps you understand the complex media landscape in America.
