How to Speak Search Engine.
Ever listen to a child ask questions of Siri? Have you watched them say, “Ok, Google…” and proceed to ask what seems to be an awkward string of words? Believe it or not, children tend to speak “Search Engine” better than we do. Children have defined “structured” language choices with simple terms that haven’t been corrupted by years of nuanced definitions, metaphors, and colloquialisms. These clear, singular definitions are exactly what Google wants from you too, and we’ll talk about how to accomplish that.

15. Sundar Pichai
said during his keynote,
“It’s not just enough to give [users]
links — we really need to help them
get things done in the real world.”
16. Pichai noted that Google has been
“laying the founda(on for this for
many, many years.”
This has led Google to develop an end-‐to-‐end
solu(on that means customers
NEVER HAVE TO OPEN AN APP OR
VISIT A WEBSITE.
20. Schema
“Over 10 million sites use Schema.org
to markup their pages and email
messages.”

basically

it.

or
footer
of
the
page
• Be
careful

address
visible
page
elements

it’s
use,

evolving
constantly!
