        "text": "Voice assistants mainly look at **overall SEO strength**, **page speed**, **mobile friendliness**, **featured snippet readiness**, **structured data**, and **local signals** to choose voice results. These are the core voice search ranking factors.\n\nVoice queries tend to be longer, conversational, and often local, so search engines favor pages that clearly answer common questions in a concise, structured way. If your site already ranks well on mobile and is technically sound, you’re halfway there.\n\nKey factors:\n- Fast, mobile-friendly pages that meet Core Web Vitals.\n- Content written in natural, question-based language.\n- Short, direct answers near the top of the page.\n- Strong local SEO: Google Business Profile, NAP consistency, reviews.\n\nStart by speeding up your site, tightening mobile usability, and building FAQ-style content that answers real spoken questions in 40–60 words. Then layer on schema markup (FAQ, LocalBusiness) and keep your local profiles and reviews in good shape.\n\nIf this feels overwhelming, prioritize page speed and one great FAQ page—those two changes alone move the needle fast for voice search.",
