Voice assistants derive their answers from various sources, based mainly on the type of the question being asked. If you ask  Alexa or Google Assistant about your schedule, or to remind you of something, or to access an app on your device, it pulls the response directly from the data and apps that you’ve allowed it to access. For almost all other types of questions you ask your smart speaker, it searches the web  using search engines, such as Bing and Google, which are the intelligence platform powering voice assistants.

Your business should care about voice search because that is how your customers will find you. Voice is becoming a key interface with smart home technology—and it’s being integrated into smart home technology by all the major players.

The future of search is about being both ubiquitous and personal. There are an estimated 25 billion voice-enabled devices by 2020, and users will expect a seamless experience as they move from device to device. And they will expect the same level of accuracy both for spoken and for typed inquiries.
