What’s more, our platform empowers the mobile marketers, brands and businesses to engage with their users through a completely new channel that helps them compete better in the crowded digital marketing space.Search Trends on Mobile
Brands are increasingly savvy about their mobile search strategies — mobile search ad spend is projected to rise from 50% to 77% this year. (Source: Yahoo) According to the recent Frost & Sullivan report: “In the US alone, mobile search continues to grow exponentially. However, marketers are unable to offer relevant content to users in the exact moment of their needs. Search companies understand the importance of relevancy and immediacy and are already integrating search as a service with third-party apps. Technologies such as Yahoo Search SDK, Siri or “OK Google” are enabling users to search for a specific need, making things a little easier for its users.”Mobile search value potential can be gauged from Xploree’s beta studies for the ten most popular categories of applications for consumer search on mobile devices. The results show that search engines lead the pack at 34% followed by call directory at 17% and play store (app discovery) at 16%. Consumers lean in on m-commerce search and social apps heavily albeit, slightly lower than the in-app search on messaging apps (12%).
