        "text": "Yes, an outdated or slow mobile site can hurt your chances in “near me” voice results because most voice searches happen on phones, often with impatient users.\n\nAssistants prefer results that load quickly, are easy to navigate, and clearly show key local details above the fold.\n\nKey factors:\n- Mobile load time under ~3 seconds for core pages is a strong baseline goal.\n- Click‑to‑call phone numbers and tap‑friendly address/map links.\n- Simple navigation, legible text, and no intrusive interstitials on mobile.\n- Clean code and compressed images to avoid bloated pages.\n\nRun basic speed tests and fix obvious issues like huge images or heavy scripts, then check how your site looks and behaves on an average phone. A smooth mobile experience supports both voice visibility and conversion when people tap through.",
