Voice Search has gained immense prominence after the introduction of Google Assistant, Apple Siri, and Amazon Alexa. Straight out from our childhood sci-fi movies, we are now using voice commands – not only for search but also to operate home appliances, such as music system and television.

More smartphone users mean more use of the voice search. It is imperative for business owners to optimize their websites for voice search.

The Benefits Of Voice Search Visibility

Voice search is here to stay! According to comScore – by 2020, 50% of all Internet searches will be done via voice. The online business is now focusing to optimize their website and mobile applications to facilitate this technology.

  • Increase website traffic – Voice Search provides a quick response to the users’ question. For instance, you have a technology business and a user makes a related query on the search engine. Now, if your website is optimized for voice search and you have a ready response in anticipation to that query, the prepared response may get displayed in the answer box on the first page of SERP with your website URL. It may help you to increase organic traffic.
  • Improve your ORM (Online Reputation Management) – While optimizing your website for voice search, the search algorithm creates a featured snippet also known as an answer box for the search query related to your website. This snippet is the specific search result which is displayed at the top of Google Search Result Page. It allows your business to get additional brand exposure and recognition on the internet.
  • Enhanced Credibility of Business – If your intended audience is looking for a review about your services and find positive responses on the website listing, they are likely to sway towards you.
  • Boost the Local Visibility – Voice Search uses complete, contextual and grammatically correct sentences. For example, “What is SynergyTop SanDiego Address?” The search engine will display the most relevant local search results to the users, therefore, it is important to update the NAP (Name, Address and Phone Number).

You should also optimize the existing pages of your website or add a FAQ page which addresses he most pertinent questions of your intended audience. Be sure to use the language – words and phrases that people actually use in their conversation.
