        "text": "Voice search SEO prioritizes conversational questions, featured snippets, and local intent, while traditional SEO often centers on typed keywords and broader rankings.\n\nIn practice, you’ll still use traditional SEO fundamentals, but you’ll adapt them to how people talk rather than type.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Voice search focuses on long-tail, question-based queries and “near me” intent.\n- It emphasizes 40–60 word direct answers suitable for spoken readouts.\n- LocalBusiness, FAQPage, HowTo, and Speakable schemas matter more.\n- Mobile speed and UX are critical, since most voice searches happen on phones.\n\nThink of voice search SEO as an evolution of SEO, not a replacement: it builds on existing best practices with a sharper emphasis on questions and local context. You won’t abandon your current SEO efforts—you’ll reshape them.\n\nWhen comparing vendors, look for those who can explain how they adapt your existing SEO to voice, not start from scratch.",
