2 – Visual and Voice Search 

Visual Search introduced by Google Lens is an image recognition mobile application that uses your camera device and visual technology to identify the object. Other search engines such as Bing and social media applications such as Pinterest offer the same technology as when you see a random object, you click a picture of the same and look up for its details in the search results.

Also voice recognition introduced by Google called Google Assistant, Amazon introduced Alexa and Apple introduced Siri to listen to your voice in the form of queries and respond through relevant search results. 

Isn’t it the best of both worlds? Surely for customers but not very much for businesses, because they need to gear up and align themselves with the pace of transcending technology. Optimizing your digital content, videos, pictures conducting frequent SEO audits as a hygiene measure is highly relevant to rank higher as people type to search, click a random image or talk to their phones to look for you.
