Why Voice Search and Commerce?
Voice is natural and easy for humans to use in part because people have been using embedded microphones in mobile apps for years. Amazon launched Alexa and Google launched Google Assistant that has 95% voice recognition reliability on par with human recognition.
Today there are over 100 million voice assistants in use across several voice channels, expected to grow to 275 million by 2022. There are also more than a billion voice access points today worldwide via mobile apps. Orderscape has published its new nationwide Food Marketplace on Google Assistant for search and Alexa for custom built Skills for full-menu ordering.
According to ComScore, by 2020, over 50% of all search (mobile and browser) will be voice enabled. Moreover, About 30% of all searches will be done without a screen by 2020, per Gartner. This means if your restaurant is not discoverable on these voice gateways (at home, office, mobile or even in the car), then you are invisible to millions of consumers using voice to find anything…including a place to eat, drink, order and reorder food to carry-out and reservations.
This new market and sales opportunity and Orderscape, pave the way for restaurant operators to enable their restaurants and menus on these platforms for search and commerce activities.
Why Voice-enable Your Menus?
Food ordering begins with what to eat before where to order seventy percent (70%) of the time. This means food search for cuisines like Chinese or menu items like Fettuccine Alfredo. Voice search must be concise, hyper-relevant and deliver fast results based on what vs. where.
Increase Brand Accessibility. Voice search has become a significant portion of web traffic and will grow—both on mobile devices and voice assistant devices like Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Consumers view these devices as access points for information, engagement, e-commerce and online takeout.
Convert local queries to actionable tasks. Voice search marketing to increase your local traffic cannot be overstated. Many times, people who are using voice search are on-the-go and looking for local results that they can be used immediately. “Hey Google, where can I find a Taco near me.”
