Voice search is the new revolution. According to Mary Meeker’s Internet Trends report, there was a rise of 35% in voice searches between 2008 and 2016.

Search Engine Land columnist Sherry Bonelli has shared five strategies to help marketers create content for the voice-first world.

Bonneli says, “As an SEO, you need to have a solid understanding of some of the search strategies that can help you rank for voice search, especially since voice search volumes continue to climb. By understanding these strategies and effectively using them on your site, you can increase your odds of being the answer to a question.

Here are some tactics to help you become the answer.

Voice search optimization basics

When you’re optimizing for voice search, you need to think about SEO differently. For instance, unlike typical search queries you do on your computer, voice search queries are longer than their text counterparts; they tend to be three to five (or more) keywords in length. This means you need to change the way you do keyword research and think about longer long-tail keywords.

Search queries also tend to specifically ask a question and typically use trigger words like who, how, what, where, best, where, why and when. Use these words in your content”.
