Jeeves Ads: Elevate Your Brand with Our Expert Marketing

Why Ask Jeeves Failed While Google Prevailed | Remember That?

Think of your one-stop shops when you need something, like Bass Pro Shop for fishing gear, Shein for Gen Z fashion, or Chuck E Cheese for entertainment. But for the answer to literally any question on earth, it's Google. However, before the year 2000, the internet was flooded with new websites, including search engines like Ask Jeeves. In today's episode of Remember That, we'll take a closer look at Ask Jeeves and its rise and fall.

Background:

- Ask Jeeves was incorporated in 1996 by two entrepreneurs, Garrett Gruener and David Warthan.

- It officially launched the next year with the goal of being a search engine that could understand questions in regular English, as opposed to keywords.

- Ask Jeeves had Google and Yahoo to compete with, and they wanted their site to feel like you were interacting with Jeeves, their actual mascot.

- Traffic was slow enough back then that the website used human editors instead of an algorithm to pick what they believed were the best websites for people to access.

- Ask Jeeves went public right at the start of what became known as the dot-com bubble.

- The company underwent an aggressive marketing campaign across the US in 1999 to make Jeeves a household name.

Rise:

- Ask Jeeves expanded with the bubble; by the year 2000, they had 2 million searches a day.

- The company even acquired other companies, made corporate deals with Microsoft and Nike, hosted launch parties with Elvis Costello, and started to expand internationally with Ask Jeeves UK.

Fall:

- The novelty of Ask Jeeves started to wear off with users as the dot-com bubble popped, and people realized that many of the companies they had money in were more gimmick than disruptor.

- From their high of $190 per share in 1999, Ask Jeeves cratered to just 86 cents per share in 2002.

- The company went into crisis mode by getting a new CEO in the year 2000 with Skip Battle. The company's technology was its weak point, and Battle knew it.

- Over the next few years, Ask Jeeves did a few remodelings to try and win back the public, but it was no use as they were scrambling to redefine themselves.

- Google learned to do their job better and do more, and they gradually took over the market. In the year 2000, Google AdWords was created, and in 2004 they introduced Gmail.

Ask Jeeves' growth strategy was based on broadening acceptance of the shtick that made it special, something that can only last for so long. Meanwhile, Google focused on technology, ways to diversify their revenue, and gradual steady growth. That's why we hear the voice of Google Assistant instead of a butler. In summary, the rise and fall of Ask Jeeves provide lessons about growth marketing and how to deal with competition in the tech industry.
