Online Marketing Help: Assistant

Are search engines turning into personal assistants? Are you searching more with your voice than typing text? That’s one of the topics that we covered today during the third episode of our live video chat show, Marketing Land Live.

Marketing Land’s Amy Gesenhues, Barry Levine and Greg Finn joined me for an almost hour-long discussion that also covered Twitter ads, the use of live video on Periscope vs. Facebook, Snapchat geofilters and much more. If you missed it, the video is embedded below, and we’ve added some links to the topics that we talked about in the Show Notes below the video. (Note: We had occasional internet connectivity issues during the show; apologies for that.)

Our plan is to record new episodes of Marketing Land Live every Friday at 12:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 a.m. PT on Blab, so we hope you’ll make plans to join us live in the future. You can send in questions/comments/ideas at any time during the week by tweeting with the #HeyML (as in “Hey, Marketing Land!”) hashtag.
