Digital assistants such as Alexa (Amazon), Cortana (Microsoft), Google Assistant (Google) or Siri (Apple) are increasingly finding their way into our lives. These systems process questions and commands in naturally spoken language. Today users have the same expectation when searching on the Internet – they are increasingly searching semantically, that is, they ask the search engine in plain text exactly the question that concerns them:
how (does it work), who (can do it), where (is it available),
why (is that so), when (does it happen) etc.
Only those who have answers to such questions and optimize their pages accordingly can count on good placement within the search results in the future.
Regardless of which search engine the user tries , he is presented with results that appear in the search results pre-filtered according to relevance. He trusts the results that are closest to the answer to his questions and clicks on the “answer”.
What conclusions can you draw from this behavior so that you get as much right as possible when planning and implementing a modern and user-friendly website?
The searcher should not be disappointed when visiting your website, landing page or microsite. He will inquire with you if your offer interests him and his purchase expectation is fulfilled.
You can do this by presenting your products / services as clearly and concisely as possible. So understandable and detailed that search engines and users alike rate your page as relevant. Because while algorithms decide on the ranking of your pages and thus decisively influence their visibility, it is the added value for the user and future customers that keeps them on your website.
