Voice Search Revolution

The increasing use of voice search has made it important for companies to rethink their digital marketing strategies in 2019.

  • 50 %will be voice searches by the year 2020
  • 20% of searches on Google are voice searches
  • 25% of all Bing searches  are voice searches

Voice search plays an important role in providing all the relevant information that people are searching for through audio content. Artificial Intelligence is getting smarter and the number of errors made by voice assistants like Alexa, Siri and Google has reduced.

Keep in mind that not only will more companies produce audio content in the hopes of gaining brand awareness (so you should, too), but ads are likely to come in soon. Alexa will tell you the answer to your question along with a “word from her sponsor”. Which means you’ll be able to purchase voice ad space – like Google AdWords, but for home speakers.  OMG National is here to help you navigate the future of search.
