Voice Search Optimization

Be the answer
spoken aloud.

Voice search returns exactly one result — read aloud by the assistant. There is no position #2 in voice search. We optimise your content to be that single spoken answer for 1 billion+ monthly voice queries across Google, Siri and Alexa.

Why voice search is different

Voice search returns one answer. No runner-up. No alternatives.

When someone types a query into Google, they see 10 results. When they ask a voice assistant the same question, they hear one answer — yours or a competitor's. Voice search is winner-takes-all. The brand whose content is selected as the spoken answer gets 100% of the attention. Every other brand gets nothing.

65% of voice search answers are sourced directly from featured snippets. This means the fastest path to voice search dominance is featured snippet capture — structuring your content so Google, Siri and Alexa can extract and read it as a direct, conversational answer.

What we optimise

Voice search optimisation — what we do

Conversational Keyword Research

Voice queries are 3–5× longer than typed queries and phrased as natural questions. We identify the exact conversational questions your customers ask their voice assistants — "Who is the best X in Y?" "How do I do Z?" — and build content that answers each one definitively.

Voice-Optimised Content Formatting

Voice assistants prefer answers that are 29 words on average, conversational in tone, directly responsive to the question and factually precise. We reformat your key content to match the linguistic patterns that voice assistants select most frequently.

Local Voice Search Optimisation

"Near me" and location-based queries are the highest-volume voice search category. We optimise your Google My Business, local schema and location-specific content to capture "best [service] near me" and "[service] in [city]" voice queries.

Speakable Schema Markup

Google's Speakable schema tells Google Assistant exactly which sections of your content are appropriate for voice reading. We implement speakable schema across your key pages, directly signalling to Google which content to use as voice answers.

Featured Snippet Capture for Voice

Since 65% of voice answers come from featured snippets, capturing featured snippets is the most direct path to voice search dominance. We optimise for paragraph snippets (the format most commonly used for voice answers) across all high-intent voice query categories.

Our process

How we make you the spoken answer

01

Voice query research

Identifying the conversational questions your customers ask voice assistants — using autocomplete, People Also Ask data and voice-specific keyword tools to map every natural language query relevant to your business.

02

Featured snippet campaign

Capturing featured snippets for priority voice queries — since 65% of voice answers come directly from snippets, this is the highest-ROI voice search investment.

03

Content & schema optimisation

Reformatting target pages with voice-appropriate answer length, conversational tone, speakable schema and structured data that helps voice assistants extract clean answers.

04

Local voice search optimisation

For businesses with physical locations, optimising for "near me" and location-specific voice queries through GMB, local schema and localised content.

Common questions

Voice Search FAQs

Voice searches are longer, more conversational and phrased as complete questions. Voice search assistants return only one answer — the featured snippet — rather than a list of links. This makes featured snippet capture the primary optimisation goal for voice search.
We optimise for all major voice search platforms: Google Assistant (Android, Search, Home), Siri (iPhone, iPad, HomePod), Amazon Alexa and Microsoft Cortana. Google Assistant and Siri account for over 85% of all voice searches combined.
"Near me" queries are the highest-volume voice search category — most voice queries have local intent. For businesses with physical locations, local voice search optimisation (GMB, local schema, location-specific content) is one of the highest-ROI SEO investments available.
