Coming soon to Google, Bing, and Yahoo: apps!
That’s right.
The way this is going to work is when you’re on your cell phone and you go on Google, Bing, or Yahoo and search for something, not only will you get links to websites. You’ll also now possibly get links to download apps that answer your search question.
They’re currently beta-testing, which means they’re experimenting on a small scale for now.
If this does get traction and gets rolled out, it’s going to be a big advantage for small businesses to be early adopters and get their apps entrenched in organic, search engine optimization listings.
One of the biggest drawbacks of creating an app for a small business has been the fact that the app is only valuable if people download it.
Well, if businesses’ can get their apps in search engines, there could be some real potential here.
