In fact, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oberlo.com\/blog\/voice-search-statistics\">50%<\/a> of the US population uses voice search features daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re ready to account for voice search when optimizing your website, stick around to learn more about how it works and five best practices you can implement right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arent_voice_search_queries_the_same_as_text_search_queries\"><\/span>Aren\u2019t voice search queries the same as text search queries?\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nope.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voice search isn\u2019t the same as text search. When a user searches for something using their voice, they speak to their devices in a conversational tone, closer to how we speak in real life.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means SEOs and marketers need to infuse conversational keywords into their websites to account for voice searches. More on this in a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_easy_to_rank_for_voice_search\"><\/span>Is it easy to rank for voice search?\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not easy to rank for voice search, mostly because devices that allow voice search typically list one to three results for any given query. In other words, to land one of those top spots, you have to ensure your content is primed for voice SEO.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we\u2019ll share some effective tips in this guide, don\u2019t be afraid to reach out to an SEO strategist for additional support. They can audit your website to ensure you\u2019re including the best tactics to cater to voice searchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_voice_search\"><\/span>What is voice search?\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voice search means using your voice to search for something on Google or another search engine instead of typing your query directly into the engine. If you\u2019ve ever used Alexa, Siri, or the Google Voice search on Android to look something up, you\u2019ve completed a voice search!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The technical explanation? Voice search helps you search the internet through speech. Devices can recognize your voice via artificial intelligence (AI) and place the query into a search engine. From there, you\u2019ll get one to three results depending on the device you\u2019re using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_people_use_voice_search\"><\/span>How do people use voice search?\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People use voice search differently depending on the device they\u2019re searching on.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, voice searchers in need of a quick answer to an im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>te problem, such as where to eat or how to change a tire, typically ask their <strong>smartphones.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whereas people at home who use <strong>smart speakers<\/strong> perform larger, more in-depth searches.

Focus on conversational keywords\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s where text and voice searchers really behave differently.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Text searchers use short and sweet queries, while voice searchers use full phrases and questions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, if someone\u2019s on the hunt for SaaS lead generation strategies and they\u2019re performing a voice search, they may ask something like: \u201cHey Siri, please help me find some lead generation tactics for SaaS companies\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whereas if they\u2019re conducting a text query, they\u2019ll usually stick with short and sweet phrases like \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/divbyzero.com\/blog\/saas-lead-generation\/\">lead generation for SaaS<\/a>\u201d or \u201cSaaS lead gen advice\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, to rank for voice search, it\u2019s pivotal to infuse language in your content that\u2019s used in conversations between real humans \u2014 aka conversational language.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some quick ways you can pull conversational keywords:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Use a keyword-finding tool<\/strong>, such as WebCEO\u2019s Keyword Suggestions to hunt for conversational phrases (these begin with question words, i.e., \u201cwho\u201d, \u201cwhat\u201d, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Look for questions related to your niche inside of popular forums<\/strong> (simply examine the thread titles) \u2014 check out Quora and Reddit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Examine the \u201cPeople Also Ask\u201d and Google\u2019s autocomplete<\/strong> suggestions for common questions<\/li>\n<\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/meYchDOuRhvJ9oH_9WwxnjnGU9yXHhLyoq7vwoVnJPXh-tFE0n_JD9IEf4sRnZg5-u_H9d6ZPjiJo2HZunIFI1g6Fie3ES4cmKPQns4bhrdbS-L4Meyu4RaeJjcFFw-1lG1qrIVWkHSRcIdF64ozX54\" alt=\"The People Also Ask section on Google.\" title=\"People Also Ask \"><\/figure><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=What+is+a+colocation+data+center%3F&amp;bih=625&amp;biw=1366&amp;hl=en&amp;sxsrf=APwXEdfDMhDhLLQ-qJypF5mb_31EYBjgBg%3A1685599037634&amp;ei=PTN4ZNSsJu6kqtsPyf6RiA8&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiUv_zesaH_AhVukmoFHUl_BPEQ4dUDCBA&amp;uact=5&amp;oq=What+is+a+colocation+data+center%3F&amp;gs_lcp=Cgxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAQAzIECAAQHjIGCAAQCBAeMggIABCKBRCGAzIICAAQigUQhgM6BwgjELADECc6CggAEEcQ1gQQsAM6BggAEB4QDToGCAAQBxAeOggIABAIEAcQHkoECEEYAFC7BFicFmCkG2gCcAF4AoABnQSIAZkTkgELMC40LjIuMS4wLjKYAQCgAQHAAQHIAQk&amp;sclient=gws-wiz-serp\">Image Source<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\u2019ve pulled your conversational keywords, use them naturally and relevantly throughout your site. You\u2019ll also need to create content around them beyond just using them in your on-page copy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This may include content, such as:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Blog posts\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guides \u2014 think product comparisons, in-depth reviews, and ultimate guides on specific topics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Case studies\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An FAQ section\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A Help Center or Knowledge Base\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Informational videos\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Optimize_for_local_search\"><\/span>2. Optimize for local search\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you run a brick-and-mortar business or offer products and services to local customers, you can\u2019t forget to optimize for local search. In fact, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oberlo.com\/blog\/voice-search-statistics\">16%<\/a> of consumers mainly use voice search to perform local \u201cnear me\u201d searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To optimize for local search, you need to create content that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Is relevant to your local area\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consistently tells people you\u2019re a local business<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integrates local keywords\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use a tool like Ubersuggest to grab local keywords and questions. These might include local landmarks near you as well as words and questions people use to describe the community you\u2019re in.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another crucial strategy is including \u201cnear me\u201d in your anchor text, titles, internal links, and metadata. This caters to voice searchers who ask their devices for help locating a particular store near where they are. Again, if you\u2019re local, we can\u2019t stress how important it is not to skip out on this easy-to-grab, low-hanging fruit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Aim_to_capture_Google-featured_snippets\"><\/span>3.

This is especially important if you sell a complex product or service or if you sell something that needs a demonstration, such as software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, if you sell an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/lovo.ai\/text-to-speech\">AI text-to-speech<\/a> tool, consider using a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pitch.com\/use-cases\/video-presentation-maker\">video presentation maker<\/a> to craft an explainer video about who your tool helps and the problems it solves. This can help voice searchers quickly grasp how it works and where they can apply it at their jobs or in their personal lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pro-Tip:<\/strong> To account for the hearing impaired or for people who may be viewing your videos at work or without sound, consider using an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/simplified.com\/video-editor\/auto-subtitle-generator\">AI subtitle generator<\/a> to auto-populate captions in your videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Use_schema_markup\"><\/span>5. Use schema markup\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask your website developer to add schema markup to your website\u2019s HTML to help search engines provide more detailed results.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This includes key business information, such as your:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Address\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contact information\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hours of operation\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pricing\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reviews\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While schema markup is invisible to human visitors, indexing bots use it to better understand your content. This can improve your visibility in text search results and voice search results as search engines will consider your site more relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrap_up\"><\/span>Wrap up\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And there you have it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today we answered some common questions about voice search and shared five best practices you can use to optimize your site for voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you ready to cater to voice searchers and improve your site&#8217;s visibility?
