The Future of SEO - 2017 - Part II - Drone Delivery, Emoji #hashtags and Voice Search

Drone Delivery, Emoji, #Hashtags and Voice Search. 

What do all of the above have to do with SEO?

Did you count four objects or two in the question above? 

Drone Delivery - this isnt the article on drone delivery, Google wants to do it for $6.. i say connect them with Cinnabon first? they aren't in the drone business. yet. if.. 

Google want's to deliver food for $6.
(I think this may be a possible solution/partnership for Cinnabon?)
😉

Why? Because Amazon is delivering things from voice search already.
Right?

Amazon has done drone delivery now.. (see news articles below), naturally if i order a microwave, a toaster or some type of small appliance it would be to large to be shipped on a drone by Amazon? So drone delivery is limited to weight? size? what?

Here is what i have set as a hard limit for my drone delivery task.


A Startup for GIFs?



IS GIF a language? Have seen people speak on twitter in gifs only.. have you ever searched for a GIF on twitter and gotten advertisements? Are you optimizing your brand for GIF search? Similar to the Google Images land grab when people want to make sure and own the top images for a brand in case they showed up in Google Universal Search.
P.s. There is a #Startup for that.. 





Emoji and Hashtags (don't work) in Voice Search. Think about it. again.. yet. 
Until last week, there was not an Emoji Skill on LinkedIn.
(#facepalm - hashtags as a skill? Voice Search Optimization? )



Emoji is like Schema, the unicode sets the rules for Emoji. There are many different platforms for Emoji, Kimoji is one, Bitmoji is another.. neither of these contain Unicode approved emoji. Hashtags like emoji.. are not standardized.. if you are a consumer facing brand, you might not want to use some hashtags in social campaigns because a hashtag is not limited to a location or culture or school of thought.. #thot? (don't use that hashtag..)
