Understand your customers better:
As a key part of Hummingbird, Google has upped its sophistication in understanding natural language. It now considers each word entered into the search bar, meaning it can better use both the natural and conversational searches.
For example, when you enter ”What is the nearest place to buy iPhone5s to my home?” in the search bar, a traditional search engine might find you the pages that matches the keywords entered. But, the Hummingbird technique is quite smarter by getting you the exact pages by understanding the meaning behind the phrase entered in the search bar.
This means, it tries to identify your location of your home if you have given it to Google and understands that iPhone is an electronic device carried by certain stores and then finds the pages related to iPhone keywords. This way the search is made quite better and smart.
