A new eMarketer report, “Mobile Search Trends: Dominating SERPs While Venturing into Apps and Anticipatory Search,” analyzes how a mobile phone search population nearly 16% bigger than the mobile Facebook population makes it critical for marketers to move beyond the test-and-learn phase of mobile search.

Research indicates the mobile tipping point for search marketing will occur in 2015.
