Voice Search-Are You Ready?
Are you ready for voice search? Are WA ready for voice search?
Next year in 2020 it's estimated that 50% of all searches on the internet will be will be voice search.
It will mean big changes in how we choose keywords, and whiat kind of content will do well.
When you type in a search phrase "the old fashioned way" you'll get 10 blue links (page 1) and if you show up here, then you've made it.
But with a voice search, Google or Bing will just show a snippet that will answer the question.
Longform content will not be rewarded as it used to be,
The voice search era is already here (I think so) That's why my boring blog post with a word count of only 535 words has been shooting up the rankings, and after just 7 weeks is ranked number 20 out of 149.000.000. I wrote this blog post with voice search in mind.
If you want to read more about the topic, there's a fantastic blog post here.
What do you think?
Take care
Stefan

Hi Stefan, voice search is the way to go, in the begining, it can make one a little self-conscious, doesn't take long to get into it.
one of the things that will be on the horizon is interactive websites, found using voice search and then the site communicates with the user.
Exciting times and as developers and website creators we will all need to adapt to the new and evolving landscape.
Thank you for the reminder of the coming changes.

Thanks for your post Stefan. I had not thought about this at all. All the more reason we need to keep adapting to new things to stay relevant in internet technology.
