Tag: voice search

Voice search has become increasingly popular in recent years, with the rise of virtual assistants such as Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant. This has led to a shift in the way people search for information online and has also had a significant impact on SEO and content strategy. With voice search, users tend to use more natural language and longer, more conversational queries. This can make it more difficult for search engines to understand the intent behind the search.

Remember when you could only use a keyboard to search on the internet? Those times were so long ago and only two years ago a UK website predicted that more than half of all searches would be done via voice by 2020. While that prediction is off the market, they did have a point and as we move closer to this key milestone, many consumers are realising that it is much easier to talk to your phone then to send a text. While in the office the keyboard still has a prominent role, the significance of the impact of search trends is turning the tables on companies that focus on Google rankings.

Vocal research is not new but is very much discreet. This is changing! Already with the appearance of Cortana, Siri or Alexa, we are witnessing an invasion. Like any technology, there are many questions, what is it and what should we do about this popularization of voice research?
