Voice search is quickly becoming a norm thanks to artificial intelligence and smart home agents such as Siri. However, according to a recent report by QueryClick, only 3% of chief marketing officers are tailoring their SEO strategies to optimize for voice-enabled search.
QueryClick’s annual CMO Performance Report 2018 surveyed 150 CMOs from UK brands. The survey found that although only 3% are currently tailoring their strategies, 75% plan to do so. Almost half of those surveyed stated they would optimize within a year and 32% stated that changes could possibly take more than a year to implement.
According to Google, in a report given two years ago, 20% of queries sent via mobile were by voice. And now, a whopping 400 million devices have Google Assistant readily available. Voice search is growing rapidly and the percentages above are sure to increase over the next year.
