Frequently Asked Questions
How is voice search different from regular SEO?
Voice searches are conversational, longer, and question-based. Voice assistants read only ONE result (position zero/featured snippet), so winning that position is everything. Local optimization and structured data are especially critical for voice.
Which voice assistants should I optimize for?
Google Assistant (most market share), Amazon Alexa (smart speakers), Apple Siri (iOS users), and Microsoft Cortana (enterprise). We optimize for all major platforms simultaneously.
How long does voice search optimization take?
Featured snippet wins typically appear within 4-8 weeks. Comprehensive voice search visibility improvement takes 3-6 months for significant results.
Is voice search important for B2B?
Yes, especially for local B2B services, professional services, and informational queries. B2B decision-makers increasingly use voice search for research and vendor discovery.
Can you develop custom Alexa Skills for our brand?
Yes. We develop custom Alexa Skills and Google Actions that let users interact with your brand through voice commands—product information, store locators, appointment booking, and more.
