Milestone Voice Solutions, Changing How You Interact with Your Customers

Voice search optimization refers to the best practices content creators and SEOs use to ensure a page will return results for a voice-driven query. This includes content that answers FAQs, content that is marked up with schema, and content that is optimized with conversational keywords.

Optimizing for voice search starts by understanding your audience and aligning the content of your page with their core search intent. Focus on conversational keywords, related topics and entities, and develop content that answers FAQs, as FAQs are a common form of voice search. Ensure that your page content is marked up with schema to provide context to the search algorithm.

Voice search provides an easy way for consumers to find information by interacting with their web browser or devices through speech and natural language. Voice-enabled devices will read results from the featured snippets in the zero position. Google uses machine learning to identify content that is most relevant to the query and provides an authoritative answer.

Enabling voice search will differ depending on your device. From the Google home page, as well as in Google’s Android and iOS apps, you can perform a voice search simply by clicking on the microphone next to the Google search bar, then speaking your search query aloud.
