The Voice Search Revolution

Voice search has fundamentally changed how people find information. Over 50% of all searches are now voice-based, with smart speakers in 35% of UK households. When customers ask "Hey Siri, find me a good accountant near me" or "Alexa, what's the best AEO agency?"—will your business be the answer?

Voice assistants don't return a list of 10 results like traditional search. They provide ONE answer—the best answer. Our Voice Search Optimization ensures your business is that answer.

Voice Search Optimization FAQs

Common questions about optimizing for Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant

What is Voice Search Optimization and why is it important?

Voice Search Optimization is the practice of optimizing content to appear in voice assistant responses from Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant. It's important because over 50% of searches are now voice-based, and voice assistants only provide ONE answer—not a list of 10 results. If you're not optimized for voice, you're invisible to a huge and growing audience.

How is Voice SEO different from traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO optimizes for typed keyword queries and aims for page 1 rankings. Voice SEO optimizes for conversational, natural language queries and aims for Position Zero (featured snippets)—because voice assistants only read the top result. Voice queries are typically longer, question-based, and often have local intent.

How do I optimize for "near me" voice searches?

Local voice search optimization requires: complete and accurate Google Business Profile, consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) across all directories, local schema markup, location-specific content, customer reviews (especially on Google and Yelp for Siri), and mobile-optimized website with fast load times. 46% of voice searches have local intent—this is critical for local businesses.

What is speakable schema and do I need it?

Speakable schema is structured data markup that tells voice assistants which parts of your content are suitable for text-to-speech reading. Yes, you need it. It helps Google Assistant and other voice platforms identify the most relevant, speakable content on your page. We implement speakable schema as part of our Voice Search Optimization service.

How long does it take to see voice search results?

Voice search optimization results typically appear within 4-8 weeks for featured snippet improvements. Local voice search improvements can be faster (2-4 weeks) if your Google Business Profile and local SEO foundations are strong. Full voice ecosystem dominance across Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant typically takes 3-6 months of consistent optimization.
