Voice search SEO focuses on optimizing content for spoken queries, emphasizing natural language, long-tail keywords, and concise answers. It enhances visibility in voice-activated searches, catering to growing use of virtual assistants.

Search Engine Journal contributor Matt G. Southern has published an article featuring nine practical voice search SEO tips for businesses.

She says, “Whether starting out or looking to improve your strategy, read on for practical tips to succeed in SEO.

1. Master Conversational, Long-Tail Keywords

A key difference between text search and voice search is the use of conversational, long-tail keywords.

For example, someone might type, “best Italian restaurant NYC,” while a voice searcher would ask, “What’s the best Italian restaurant in New York City?”

To improve visibility in voice searches, focus on long-tail keywords that reflect natural speech.

Use question phrases like “what,” “where,” and “how.” Tools like AnswerThePublic and AlsoAsked can help you find common questions in your industry.”
