Perceptual mapping is a technique by which the positioning of an organization is formed in comparison with the competitors on the basis of the perception of the consumers.

Perceptual mapping is done through the diagrammatical presentation of the product or brand.

For example, a restaurant may be positioned in accordance with taste or nutritional value whereas on one axis taste is denoted and on the other axis healthiness of the product is denoted and the restaurant is positioned in accordance with the perception of the consumers regarding the taste and healthiness of the brand.
