Voice Search Strategy

Voice search is changing search engine optimization. People using voice search are using longer and more conversational search phrases to find exactly what they are looking for. It is easier and quicker to talk than it is to type, so search phrases are becoming longer and more precise. This will change your website’s keyword strategy to include long tailed and question keywords. While traditional keywords are two to three words, long tailed keywords are four or more words and very specific. For instance, traditional keywords would be quick and high searched phrases like “Grand Canyon weather” whereas a long tail keyword would be “what is the weather like at the Grand Canyon during the spring.” Additionally, filler words (like “a,” “the,” and “for”) and question words (like “who, “what,” and “how”) should be incorporated into your keyword plan. We will conduct our research in your market and find specific long tail keywords related to your products or services, so your site can use to be found on using voice search.

Content for Voice Search

Voice search engines want quick and easy answers. Voice search scans your website or content looking for the most important pieces of information. Next, they’ll take that information and process it as a result using about 20-30 words. This is why we will create featured snippets for your site which will give voice search platforms the answers in short and easy to pronounce phrases. Next, we can create a frequently asked questions page for your site, so your customers can find the exact information they’re looking for. Frequently asked questions pages are voice search friendly because they package all your business’s important information into concise phrases while also being long tail keyword optimized. Finally, social media shares matter for voice search rankings. We can create shareable and bite sized snippets from your content that your audience can spread on social media.
