1) Search will become more important for semantic: Local Seo service basically, Google keep a look on past researchto deliver best results on what Google thinks the person is looking for. It is well-known as semantic search. Basically, by the time, Google is getting better and understanding what people asking and looking for.

Even better, Google provides brands credit for these on both regular and voice search. Because you have only to make it to page one, instead of 1st position, featured snippets are more attainable.
