Whether it’s Siri, Alexa or Google, people are asking digital assistants for help finding things online. And they’re asking with their voices, not search engines. Without voice search optimization, the chances are that a large group of potential customers don’t even know you exist.
Toolbox Marketing writes that “Voice search is becoming popular worldwide as it is more convenient to talk than type. The explosive growth in voice assistants and smart home devices such as Alexa over the last few years is an indicator of this trend. Ironically, only a small percentage of local businesses are optimized for voice search. Without voice search optimization, the chances are that customers are not even noticing your business.
According to Toolbox Marketing, there’s five tips to implement to help you optimize and increase your chances of appearing on voice search.
- Optimize Content for Voice Search
- Use FAQs and Featured Snippets
- Optimize Your Site for Mobile Devices
- Take Advantage of Citations
- Use Schema Markup
