The Search Engine Land’s John E Lincoln has published ‘a beginners guide to voice search and digital assistants in 2019’.

Lincoln says, “Voice search isn’t only here to stay, it’s on the rise. Is your
website optimized for spoken queries? If not, then you could lose market
share to competitors whose websites are optimized for voice search. Good news, though, that’s a problem you can start fixing today.

In this article, I’ll explain the various types of digital assistants and what to do to get your site ready for voice search. If you want to learn more, I’ll be talking about voice search in more detail at SMX Advanced in Seattle on June 5.

Voice search is the new mobile

Many
webmasters were caught off-guard when the mobile revolution arrived
(almost overnight). They thought their “old school” websites would rank
just fine in response to a query on a smartphone. Then they learned the
hard way that wasn’t the case and started optimizing their sites for
mobile platforms.

Similarly, plenty of webmasters are blowing off voice search. They’re going to regret that. According to comScore, 50 percent of all searches will be voice searches by 2020″.
