3) Voice Search is growing fast and has strategic and tactical
responses you can execute today.

Search & The IOT - Example IOT search scenarios
39
“Alexa, its time to order some new paper towels”
When will we see a checkbox in Adwords that says
Desktop, Mobile, TV, Car, Fridge?
@nimbull #adtechsyd

40
“Alexa, who stars in Mozart in the Jungle?”
@nimbull #adtechsyd
How soon before Netflix can convince Alexa to say
“would you like to stream on Netflix now?”

Search Engines & Data Driven Innovation
41
- Aggressive beta testing of new features, especially Google.
- Some released to agencies via Betas and some not.
- Rankbrain - “AI” contributing to SEO ranking algorithms.
- Google are trialling every possible combination of Ad extension to
engage users and get them information quicker.
- 1000s of experiments, not afraid of major shifts.
@nimbull #adtechsyd

42
Fluent - Voice Search With Context Analysis
- The continued challenge of multi-language, accent and intent-based speech recognition.
- Voice Search accuracy & translation must approach 100% to gain widespread adoption.
- Companies like Fluent who focus on context and learning will help us get there.
@nimbull #adtechsyd

Search Market Share
43
- Competition to Google in AU? With the rollout of Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge – BING search market share has grown from 5.5% to 14.2%.
- Could Bing ever move into more market share? Yes! Why? Devices pervasion & OS.
- Bing in AU - Google Parity vs USP e.g recent release of Google Shopping equivalent.
@nimbull #adtechsyd

Search & The IOT
44
- Search on Cars, Homewares (e.g Google’s NEST), and on other devices increases.
- The concept of the automated home is now a reality. Input signals to NEST include clap, voice, gesture, smartphone etc.
@nimbull #adtechsyd

Search: Progress, Patents and Trust
45
- Google’s fine line between serving users, shareholders, and governing bodies.
- In an Anti-trust case involving Google Shopping: “The EU alleged the Google skewed search results to favor its own comparison shopping service” – WSJ.
- Google argues that the EU demands that “we sacrifice quality to subsidize competitors.”- WSJ.
- Comparison shopping engines like Next Tag have lost business. Google says they are nothing to do with it, and eBay and Amazon are thriving.
- Very real consideration: Fines could theoretically amount to 10% of the company’s revenue, which in 2014 totaled $66 billion. Latest reports mentioned $3.5
billion fine.
- Google Shopping is usually the highest ROI channel for ecommerce websites. If it goes away or modifies,
it will be a major disruption for etailers.
- Recently more stringent with feed requirements e.g GTIN for every product.
- More importantly does this set a precedent within Google that makes them less fearless. We would all
agree this would be a bad thing for innovation.
@nimbull #adtechsyd

Google Search: The Door & The House
46
- Google’s mission statement: organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Now focusing on the useful side more and
more, and they are supplying the utility themselves.
- SEs fulfilling the end user action e.g having a restaurant booking completed using an Ad Extension, or having a comparison of Interest Rates occur
within an Ad Extension.
@nimbull #adtechsyd

- Future sponsored listings on AI Assistants e.g Voice searches for local services could be one of the most common requests to an AI Assistant.
- Cortana vs Siri - Cortana is the windows 10 personal assistant - both doing well, with informative and often witty responses. Many off their answers are
facilitated by bringing up search results and local listings
- Learning through experimentation – TAY THE SEX ADDICTED BIGOT! Who wins? Cortana learns faster.
- See Fluent.ai later in the presentation
- How will search commands change?
