By now, you\u2019re probably sick and tired of hearing me herald the coming of voice search<\/a>. The thing is, I\u2019m not going to stop anytime soon. People are searching more and more with their voice assistants and smart speakers, and we all need to be prepared for that to continue. Voice search ranking factors are more important than ever to make sure local businesses are voice search-ready. Local businesses\u2019 websites, blogs, and SEO strategies aren\u2019t going to optimize themselves for voice search!<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/div>\n

Last year, Backlinko conducted an extensive analysis of the factors<\/a> that seriously impacted voice search rankings. Unsurprisingly, 11 different variables were tied specifically to results that the Google Assistant pulls up via Google Home. When I read their study, you know I had\u00a0<\/em>to do my own research to test their theories. After all, Google dominates the search world, so these ranking factors likely apply to other voice assistants, like Amazon\u2019s Echo and Apple\u2019s Siri.<\/p>\n

The Gist on Voice Search Ranking Factors<\/h2>\n

For my research, I used one of Advice Local\u2019s pages that is voice search-ready and ranking in the Google Assistant.<\/p>\n

\"Voice<\/p>\n

I tested all of Backlinko\u2019s voice search ranking factors against our very own page.<\/p>\n

Page Speed\/Loading Time<\/h3>\n

We all know that websites need to load quickly in order to compete, and it\u2019s no different when it comes to voice search SEO. Backlinko\u2019s study reveals that the average voice search result loads in just 4.6 seconds. Typically, Google considers a page to be \u201cmobile friendly\u201d when it loads above-the-fold content in one second or faster.<\/p>\n

Our page for \u201cWhat Is Local Presence Management?<\/a>\u201d has a page speed of 3.02s.<\/p>\n

Users want immediate results when they use voice search. Whether they\u2019re asking for help with homework or looking up directions, their smartphone or voice assistant needs to respond quickly. As a result, slow-loading pages will almost never be included in voice search results.<\/p>\n

HTTPS Websites<\/h3>\n

After Google did that whole thing over the summer with unsecure sites \u2013 you know, letting people know that a site was not secure before proceeding \u2013\u00a0it\u2019s no surprise that site security is a big ranking factor not only for voice search, but for search in general as well. Google wants to protect its users, which means it\u2019s more likely to send searchers to a secure webpage than one that\u2019s questionable or unprotected.<\/p>\n

What we didn\u2019t know until recently is that secured websites are even more valuable in terms of voice search than they are in desktop searches. Backlinko found that voice search results tend to use HTTPS 20 percent more than other results on Google\u2019s first page.<\/p>\n

I can confirm that our website is and has been secure for quite some time, which adds value to Backlinko\u2019s claim that HTTPS is a voice search ranking factor.<\/p>\n

Brief, Informative Answers Inside In-Depth Content<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Now we get to the meat of what\u2019s important when it comes to ranking in voice search. When you type a query on Google, you might browse the entire first page of search results to find what you need. When you ask a question to a voice assistant, Google provides you with one or a couple of answers that best satisfy your needs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s vital that businesses alter their content to answer specific questions. The typical voice search result is only 29 words in length, although it may come from a blog or post that\u2019s more than 2,000 words long, according to Backlinko.<\/p>\n

The Advice Local article I used to test the theory contains 501 words, but our definition of local presence management is found in the first paragraph and is both brief and informative:<\/p>\n

\u201cLocal Presence Management is defined as geo-targeted digital presence management that enhances a brand on the whole by optimizing all their locations\u2019 information in their respective local markets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The answers hidden in long-form content need to be clear and precise, but that doesn\u2019t mean the content should be short. While the content in our article was not too long, it was in depth and authoritative \u2013 like all of our content.<\/p>\n

Marketers should also keep in mind that simple, easy-to-read content may help with voice search SEO. The average Google voice search result is written at a 9th-grade level, which makes sense considering the brevity and simplicity of most voice search answers. Roughly\u00a093 million people in America<\/a> have \u201cBasic\u201d or \u201cBelow Basic\u201d literacy skills – don\u2019t exclude them by writing above their level. This isn\u2019t the time or place to make pieces flowery. Stay on topic and keep things straightforward.<\/p>\n

Authority Over Subject Matter<\/h3>\n

Since voice assistants only provide one answer to users at a time in most cases, Google needs to know that the answer comes from a trustworthy, authoritative source. In order to benefit from voice search SEO, content must exude expertise. For instance, Google is much likelier to answer the question \u201cWhat are the signs of measles?\u201d with a result from Mayo Clinic, an expert, than with a result from a mommy blogger.<\/p>\n

This is also the case with a SEO topic like \u201cWhat Is Local Presence Management?\u201d The result comes from a trusted site that consistently crafts content related to local SEO, listing management and other forms of digital marketing.<\/p>\n

One way to help build authority in a field is to share the content with others in the industry. Content with high levels of social engagement tends to perform well when it comes to voice search. Share the post on Facebook, get people to Tweet about it, and don\u2019t hesitate to toot your own horn. Backlinko states that the average voice search result has 1,199 Facebook shares and 44 Tweets. Those shares are indications to Google that other people trust and appreciate the content.<\/p>\n

We are very active on social media. We share our content on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn, which also helps position us as an authoritative source in the SEO and digital marketing space.<\/p>\n

Featured Snippets and High Rankings<\/h3>\n

Once again, I\u2019m going to bring up the Featured Snippet<\/a>. You\u2019re probably groaning considering that I\u2019ve brought it up countless times, but there\u2019s a reason: it\u2019s one of the most vital aspects to succeeding with voice search. Businesses are much more likely to be featured in a voice search result if they own the Featured Snippet for a particular query. In fact, according to the Backlinko study, 40.7 percent of all voice search answers come from Featured Snippets.<\/p>\n

Of course, we have the featured snippet for local presence management.<\/p>\n

\"feature<\/p>\n

When it comes to ranking with Google, many of the same rules apply to voice search as they do to desktop search. If one of the business\u2019 articles is ranking highly on desktops, then it stands a fair chance at appearing in a voice search. The key is to reach one of those top three spots on Google – 75 percent of the voice search results come from there.<\/p>\n

Strong Backlinks<\/h3>\n

This factor goes hand in hand with authority. Google wants to find voice search results that offer expertise in their domain. One indication of this reliability is a strong backlink profile. The more a website can establish domain authority, the more Google will believe it\u2019s a trustworthy source worth passing on to voice search users.<\/p>\n

Advice Local is a very cited source, as we are considered an authority when it comes to local SEO and other digital marketing topics. Our page about Local Presence Management has 19 backlinks from trusted sources. Advice Local as a whole has over 71k!<\/p>\n

The Bottom Line on Voice Search Ranking Factors<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Right now, Siri is used on over 500 million devices<\/a>. Google Assistant is used on more than 400 million, according to Voicebot AI. Voice search has steadily increased in popularity over the past couple of years, and all signs point to a future filled with voice searches.<\/p>\n
