Voice searches are usually longer and phrased as questions. Websites with clear FAQ answers perform better in this channel.
What it means in practice
A voice assistant is a program you talk to, such as Google Assistant, Siri or Alexa, and increasingly the voice modes of ChatGPT and Gemini. The user asks a question aloud and the assistant reads out the answer or performs an action, e.g. calling a business.
Why it matters for your business
Voice searches are usually longer and phrased as questions: “Where is the nearest plumber open now?”. The assistant usually gives one answer, so being that one business matters.
Examples and good practice
- Answer natural-language questions in your FAQ.
- Keep opening hours and phone number up to date on your Google profile.
- Write short answers that can be read aloud.
- Invest in local SEO – voice questions often concern the area.
