3 SEO Tips for Voice Search Optimization: Get Ahead of the Competition NOW
– Have you been optimizing
your website for Voice Search? Well if you haven't you're
really gonna get screwed because in the future everyone is starting to use devices like Alexia, from Amazon, to perform voices searches. Hey everyone, I'm Neil Patel,
and today I'm gonna share with you how you can generate more search traffic using Voice Search. (upbeat music) So the first tip I have for you guys is make sure your site is
compatible with HTTPS framework. If a website is HTTPS, from what we found, it's much more likely to generate
traffic from Voice Search. We've noticed that over 65% of
the results from Voice Search are from sites that have HTTPS.
The second tip I have for you is to build authoritative domain. This isn't gonna happen overnight. You're not gonna be the next
Forbes or Huffington Post or Business Insider, but
you can still be authority within your niche. What we found is sites
that have a lot of links, a lot of amazing content, social shares, good user experience,
overall, they're authority because they deserve too,
are the ones that are getting the lions share of the
Voice Search traffic. And if you, yourself,
don't have an amazing site or amazing experience, and
you don't feel your authority, that's okay, just do something to fix it.
Make your content better. Make your design better. Outreach to people who
link to your competitors and ask them for a link. Go above and beyond with your
marketing to be the leader. If you're not one to be the leader, you're not gonna get the
traffic from Voice Search. The next tip I have from you, and this comes from my friend, Brian Dean, if you want to do well in Voice Search you need to make sure
you're website loads fast. It needs to be precisely
4.6 seconds or faster. That's more than 50% faster
than the average webpage. So if your website loads
fast you're more likely to get the traffic from Voice Search. If it loads slow, probably
not gonna get that traffic. Do you know how fast your website loads? Leave a comment below.
If you don't go to Google PageSpeed, put in your website, let
us know what your scores and how fast it's loading. Last but not least, you
need to have short answers within your content. Here's what I mean by this. If you wanna go after Voice
Search, similar to normal SEO, pages with over 2,200 words perform better than pages that are 500
words, or 600, or 700. The more content you have,
the more Google can index you for different terms, the more traffic you can potentially get. Within that content you wanna
have quick short answers.
For example, if rhyme writing a article that breaks down SEO and a
whole beginners guide to it, maybe I'll have a heading
called, What is SEO? Then I can have a one
or two sentence answer to what SEO is. That's a example of
in-depth content, right? How I can use headings
in in-depth content, and use short answers
because that makes it easier for Google to give people the answers. So if you follow all of those tips you'll be able to generate
a lot more traffic through Voice Search. I know it's not popular
yet, I know it won't make up the majority of your traffic, but you need to get on top of things because eventually it will
become way more popular and you don't want to be
scrambling at the last minute to get that extra search traffic. So thank you for watching. If you enjoyed this video leave a comment, like, share, subscribe, let
