Observations
More than six in ten Americans use some form of voice assistant technology. It is incumbent upon content producers to ensure their content is easily retrievable through voice.
#InfiniteDial T H E I N F I N I T E D I A L © 2 0 2 0 E D I S O N R E S E A R C H A N D T R I T O N D I G I T A L
