Optimizing Your Website for Voice Interaction

▤ Summary

Voice searches differ from text searches in that they use conversational tones and speech patterns. When typing a search, users may only use two or three keywords, but when searching by voice, queries tend to be longer (three to five keywords) and in the form of a question. Additionally, voice user interfaces differ from graphical interfaces in that users cannot see the options and navigation. These unconscious behavioral changes have resulted in the need for websites to be written and designed in a manner conducive for voice searches. The following tips require minimal effort but could have a large effect on the way your site is accessed by voice search.
