YELP – LOCAL BUSINESSES
Siri queries yelp for local business information when it determines your location either by explicit query signals or implicit location signals (ip address, wifi signal, 3g/gps).

BING – Web Search
Google was swapped out for Bing as default search engine in Siri with the release of iOS7 in late 2013. Understanding your brand’s search presence in Bing is probably the most actionable takeaway re: Siri for marketers.

TWITTER – What is ___ saying?
Simple, clean integration with Siri. Lacks ability to sort or filter easily and name recognition is extremely difficult (opportunity for optimization?)

MAPS – LOCATION & DIRECTIONS
Loads apple maps if you’re in the right country (not Israel), and using natural language or place names still is very difficult for Siri.

WIKIPEDIA & WOLFRAM ALPHA [if not Bing..]
For most questions, it seems that Wikipedia or Wolfram alpha are first choice – otherwise a web search on Bing will occur.

BUILT-IN DATA SOURCES
Personal assistant and efficiencies gained with Siri’s integration into default Apple iOS apps and services. Siri use is most likely relegated to these types of hands-free queries.

ALL BRANDS – CORRECT COMMON NAME MISTAKES
CROWDSOURCING? There’s a chance that personal corrections to sounds / homonymns may be crowd-sourced in the future. Remember, all queries go up to Siri in the cloud, not local. @AriNahmani | #SMX
STRUCTURED MARKUP WORTH IT?
