Your Google Ads STR Reads Like a Transcript Now — A WooCommerce Playbook
The average Google Ads search query went from 2.8 words in 2022 to 9-10 words in 2026, driven by Gemini Live, the Siri LLM, and AI-glasses voice input. The Search Term Report stopped being a keyword-cleanup tool — voice queries are 3-5x longer than typed (Think with Google), 65% of local searches are now voice-activated (2026 Consumer Search Report), and broad match plus Smart Bidding routinely matches three-word keywords to 14-word voice queries. WooCommerce stores need a voice-specific negatives list, query-length segmentation, and landing pages rewritten to echo the spoken question.
