Social Search Trend Report
What was a skeptical buzz last year has become a trend even Google itself won’t ignore: the rise of social search. When Gen Z and Millennials are already spending hours of their day on social media, finding near everything they could ever need, why not use the built in search bars? These gens love video content, so it’s natural they’re seeking results in this format over articles and websites written by people they don’t know if they relate to. And the platforms they started utilizing for search are going full steam to keep this role—though, it would be a stretch to say Google is at risk of losing its crown completely.
