You open Google Lens, snap a picture of a product, and within seconds, Google identifies it, shows where to buy it, and even links to video reviews.

It’s official—text-based search is no longer the only way people find information.

  • Google Lens searches have increased 65% year-over-year.

Your Strategy Update:

  • You start optimizing videos with transcripts, captions, and keyword-rich descriptions.
  • You add structured data and alt text to images to enhance visual search.
  • You create short-form videos that answer common user queries.

The Result?

  • Your videos start ranking on Google, and traffic from visual searches increases by 25%.
