Voice Search Optimization

In plain words

Voice search optimization is the practice of tailoring content for spoken, conversational queries made through voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant. Because voice queries tend to be longer and more natural-sounding than typed searches, voice search optimization overlaps heavily with long-tail keyword and direct answer strategies.

Example

An FAQ answers “Do you work with startups?” in a short, spoken-style sentence that a voice assistant can read out as is.
