Customer personas tell J-Horizon who your brand serves. When personas are defined, J-Horizon evaluates AI search engine responses through the lens of each customer segment, giving you a more nuanced view of how different audiences experience your brand in AI-generated results. Navigate to your organization’s Settings and select the Personas tab. Personas tab showing customer persona cards with demographic and behavioral details

What personas do

Each persona represents a distinct customer segment. J-Horizon uses persona data to analyze whether AI search engine responses align with the needs, goals, and search behavior of your target audiences. This surfaces insights that a single, generic analysis would miss.

Persona fields

Each persona card contains the following fields:
FieldDescription
DemographicsAge range, role, location, or other demographic attributes of this segment.
MotivationsWhat drives this customer segment to search for solutions like yours.
Pain PointsThe problems or frustrations this segment experiences.
GoalsWhat this customer segment is trying to achieve.
Search BehaviorHow this segment searches for information — platforms used, query styles, frequency.
