Moreover, Google voice search queries were <a href=\"https:\/\/searchenginewatch.com\/2016\/06\/03\/what-does-meekers-internet-trends-report-tell-us-about-voice-search\/\" target=\"_blank\">up 35 fold<\/a> in 2016 compared to 2008. This means that voice search optimization is crucial for marketers today. Luckily, it\u2019s quite easy to optimize your website for voice search. Here are the main ways how you can improve your site\u2019s rankings in no time.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>1. Favor Long-tail Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>As voice searches mainly mean answering questions, you should avoid focusing on individual keywords. Instead, if you wish to optimize for voice search, try to address a specific question that your customers might ask. For instance, creating an FAQ page can be an effective and easy way to improve your voice search rankings.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Focus On Local Listings<\/h2>\n<p>Voice search is often used to gain information about places customers want to go. Thus, it\u2019s essential to optimize your keywords for specific places, like \u201ctapas restaurant Barcelona\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Claim The Google My Business Listing<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes users look for places \u201cnear me\u201d and voice search then can refer to the user\u2019s location to get results. This is why it\u2019s crucial to claim your <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/business\/?hl=en&amp;_ga=1.197736111.1817838323.1480536666#topic=4539639\" target=\"_blank\">Google My Business <\/a>listing. By doing that you will help Google to find out more about your business and increase chances of showing up when a voice search is done.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Explore Your Analytics<\/h2>\n<p>Use Google Analytics, audience statistics provided by Capsulink and other analytics tools to explore how people end up on your site. This will help you to think of long-tail keywords to use and eventually improve your rankings.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Be Mobile<\/h2>\n<p>Voice search is mainly used on mobile. Therefore, if customers click on your website in search results and see that it\u2019s not <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.capsulink.com\/the-most-essential-things-you-need-to-know-about-your-sites-mobile-speed\/\" target=\"_blank\">optimized for mobile<\/a>, they\u2019ll most likely will head back to look for another solution. Not being mobile friendly can hurt your ranking and increase bounce rate. So, if you\u2019re aim is to optimize for voice search, improving mobile user experience is a must.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":357,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[100],"tags":[42,39,40],"class_list":["post-356","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-seo-and-ads","tag-pagerank","tag-search-marketing","tag-seo"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>TOP 5 Ways How To Optimize For Voice Search - Growth marketing blog \u203a Capsulink<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/newphp.capsulink.com\/blog\/optimize-for-voice-search\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"TOP 5 Ways How To Optimize For Voice Search - Growth marketing blog \u203a Capsulink\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/newphp.capsulink.com\/blog\/optimize-for-voice-search\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Growth marketing blog \u203a Capsulink\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-01-11T14:01:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-03-31T09:02:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/newphp.capsulink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/woman-smartphone-girl-technology.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1280\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"853\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Linda Vecvagare\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@izsaukumziime\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Linda Vecvagare\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/newphp.capsulink.com\\\/blog\\\/optimize-for-voice-search\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/newphp.capsulink.com\\\/blog\\\/optimize-for-voice-search\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Linda Vecvagare\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/newphp.capsulink.com\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/8db287845362ef24e7b0ca845ba8c13f\"},\"headline\":\"TOP 5 Ways How To Optimize For Voice Search\",\"datePublished\":\"2018-01-11T14:01:13+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-03-31T09:02:35+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/newphp.capsulink.com\\\/blog\\\/optimize-for-voice-search\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":334,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/newphp.capsulink.com\\\/blog\\\/optimize-for-voice-search\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/newphp.capsulink.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2018\\\/01\\\/woman-smartphone-girl-technology.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"PageRank\",\"Search marketing\",\"SEO\"],\"articleSection\":[\"SEO &amp;
