How do you optimise for voice search?

With advancements in technology, more people are making use of voice assistants, such as Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri. These voice assistants help with the users search needs, making voice search optimisation more important than every before when it comes to your search engine optimisation (SEO) strategy.

What is Voice Search Optimisation?

Voice search optimisation is when you optimise your content, helping it rank well when a user searches using their voice, rather than text. This requires you use conversational language, focusing on long tail keywords, while understanding the users intent.

By implementing voice search optimisation, you can improve your brand visibility, helping to attract organic and quality traffic to your website.

Why Should I Optimise For Voice Search?

When you optimise for voice search, you reach a wider audience, reaching your audience that uses voice assistants. This helps to boost brand visibility in online searches, helping you match and rank for conversational searches, boosting user experience by providing concise and accurate answers.

Voice Search vs Text Search

Long tail keyword range from three to five words in length.

Create High Quality, Unique, and Relevant Content 

When creating your content for voice search queries, focus on your long tail keywords, using conversational language in your content.

Take Advantage of Local SEO

They may be in one of your competitors stores, looking for another local supplier. You need to prioritise local SEO when it comes to voice search optimisation. Your user can use a voice assistant to gain local information on your business.

Fast Loading Website Pages

Speed up your website pages to ensure you achieve the best results when it comes to voice search optimisation. It is important your website is fast to load across any device. You can use a content delivery network (CDN), which can streamline your content distribution, helping to speed up your website considerably.
