The acronym PASO stands for Personal Assistant Search Optimization<\/strong>, and it is referred to the use of SEO<\/a> techniques with the aim of positioning content as the source of the answers given by Personal Assistants (PAs)<\/strong> such as Siri<\/a> and Google<\/a> Assistant to their users. The term was first introduced by John E. Lincoln in an editorial appeared on Search Engine Land<\/strong> and titled \u00ab<\/em>Why the future is all about PASO<\/em><\/a> \u2014 personal assistant search optimization\u00bb<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Why are personal assistants (PAs) going to shape future of SEO? <\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Personal Assistants typically return only one result<\/strong> instead of the thousands of links we are used to in regular search. This means two things: competition is going to be really hard<\/strong>, because it’s first or nothing; and the winners will take all the clicks (and traffic).<\/li>\n
  2. Personal Assistants are used on smartphones and at home<\/strong>. They are portable, hands-free and incomparably convenient<\/strong>, especially when your busy doing something else and you need a quick information to take action. Their use is going to grow very fast in the years to come: in fact, voice search<\/a> is predicted to overcome regular search within 2020.<\/li>\n
  3. Personal Assistants are powered by Artificial Intelligence<\/a> and they can give tailored results to their users, learning from factors such as localization and previous searches.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So, yes, PASO is definitely going to be something you should think about from now on.<\/p>\n

    Show me how it works<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Here is a very immediate example on how this exact web page that you’re reading has been indexed by Google and it is now providing the answer to the question<\/p>\n
