You Asked, Alexa Answered: "How Can I Remove Pet Hair From My Carpet?"
Amazon's Alexa is always getting smarter, and her latest update comes in the form of a new feature called "Customers Ask Alexa." Brands can now submit their own answers to questions you may ask the device. So, for example, if you ask Alexa how to remove pet hair from your carpet, she'll give you the answer submitted by Bissell.?
But wait, there's more! Not only will Alexa give you the answer provided by the brand, but she'll also read a short advertisement for the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser before giving you the answer. So not only will you get your question answered, but you'll also be exposed to a product that can help you solve your problem.?
Of course, this update isn't without its critics. Some people are worried that brands will start submitting false or biased information in an attempt to sell their products. Others are simply uncomfortable with the idea of having ads inserted into their conversations with Alexa.?

Whether you love it or hate it, there's no denying that the new "Customers Ask Alexa" feature will shake up the world of search engine optimization. But, for better or for worse, we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out.
