Voice Apps for brands and publishers.

Engage your audience and increase revenues by offering your users the content and information they really want, the way they want, via Google and Amazon smart speakers.

Voice apps allow your audience to interact with your publications, website and marketing material easily, through voice.

Can you imagine a future with no websites?

That’s an exaggeration, yet … Trends are changing. We are (still) in a mobile first world, where mobile search is bigger than desktop search. And in this mobile world, apps are more popular than websites.

In many respects, we like closed ecosystems: we are searching for answers and not for more questions. This is one of the main reasons for the success of voice apps.

Visible growth of smart speakers. They are going mainstream.

More than 215 million smart speakers in 2019, + 100% YOY.

In Italy more than 2 million units were sold in 2019 alone, and they will overtake tablets by the end of 2021.

Usage of voice assistants is growing year after year, changing the way users look for news and information, also before buying online products.

What is the challenge? Deliver content to be ANSWER-READY.

Advances in Artificial Intelligence have made search engines (note that Amazon is the most used search engine for transactional keywords) capable of answering more complex questions than ever. Now these search engines have set the standard for answering users’ questions.

User experience is, ultimately, at the forefront of search engine optimization. Voice search drastically improves user experience. Because of that, by the year 2020, half of all online searches will be made through voice search. Due to its prolific use, search engines such as Google are placing a higher emphasis on voice search optimization.

How? Through a Voice App.

What customers can do with voice? Companies predict a doubling of voice enabled experiences within 2020.

VoiceLit

It’s our software for content distribution through Amazon Echo and Google Home.
With VoiceLit you can:

  • Reach a new public
  • Be more relevant in both voice and traditional search
  • Collect data on your customers and using it to enrich their user experience

VoiceLit workflow.

You share input info (text RSS feed, audio, storage) with us through database, API, shared folder or docs.

We then build the app, ready to be activated both on Google Home and Amazon Alexa, the main platforms in the voice market.

Why VoiceLit? Why now?

1. Because a voice app developed with VoiceLit works on both Google and Amazon without doubling costs.

This is the advantage of choosing one of the main voice app players in Italy.

2. Being one of the frontrunners in the voice channel can create an association between brand and function in clients’ mind.

If we are one of the few brands in a category, we can compete in a far easier playground. Marketers expect voice to be at least a significant marketing channel within the next three to five years.
