Is voice search the new digital frontier?

I recently met with Laura Hampton of Impression to discuss the power of search and in particular, its future. During our discussion, we talked through how search’s pervasiveness, predictiveness and proactivity is assisting us, via technology, to make our lives easier – and better.
 
In the videos below, we looked into how Bing has evolved, and the new ideals and technologies that differentiate it from the rest. Voice search is undoubtedly one of the biggest areas of interest in the digital space, and we explore how Bing can help marketers and SEOs get ahead of the trend to reap the rewards of voice.
