. Voice search results are quite different from the traditional search results and the search engine optimization.
Lets see how and to what extent voice search results connect with SEO and how it differs?
Differentiation from the traditional search results
-Search results are based on the voice commands made by the people.
-Spelling corrections dont match Voice search. What matters is the word, the sentence. In search engines the spelling really matters. When users are searching for a keyword that is spelt incorrectly for a product for example this could be a problem for a business but for a voice search what matters is only words and sentence not the spelling.
-Not just a keyword: The search will be on the form of a long sentence. People in voice search ask questions like what is the most popular group buying wedbsite or restaurant etc,. and the programs like Google Voice and Siri identify the words in the long sentence and make the algorithm for the search results. In voice search its not just typing a keyword its voice command of the sentence.
Importance of keywords
-Keyword is king in all search results. The same phrase will be used in typing in the search bar and also in the voice command. The only difference is longtail keywords will be used more of voice search.
Relevant Factors in Voice Search Results
-In voice search when people make a voice command for a question, then its more likely to take pull results from social network sites and review sites. So always businesses should make sure they have positive reviews and feedback. Being active in Social networks is also an important factor. Search results also consider a websites listing on high traffic and popular websites Yelp and Hotfrog.
-Always provide the business address and contact information in your social media sites so that the search engines can verify the location in the search results.
Voice search technology is becoming more popular and indicators suggest businesses should consider it to rank well in it. The future of search could well be voice search.
