Are you Ready for Voice Search?

Purna started out her presentation by recounting a memory in her life when she was in a motorcycle accident. She fell off the motorcycle and badly injured her hands. At this point, it was nearly impossible to use her hands. Using her phone was far too difficult, so instead, she started using the voice command function on her phone. While voice search wasn’t commonly used before the injury, it was a very helpful resource when hands weren’t available. The experience of using voice search on a phone, led Purna to explore the growth and potential of voice search in the future.

With Fall rapidly approaching and the end of the year drawing near, it seemed only appropriate that this month’s SLC|SEM theme was last minute SEO, SEM and social media tips to meet your end of year goals. I’m always impressed with the turnout for SLC|SEM’s monthly events and can plan on seeing plenty of new and familiar faces. It’s a great resource to have an association that supports Utah’s digital marketing community.  These events are a fantastic opportunity for networking and to hear presenters discuss the latest search marketing trends, tactics and actionable tips.
Kicking off this month’s event was
Brett Stevens, a PPC Team Lead at 180 Fusion. He discussed PPC Prep for the Holidays. Here are some highlights from his presentation:
