Technical Definition
Voice search uses spoken queries via devices like smartphones, smart speakers, and assistants. Queries tend to be longer, conversational, and question-based. Often location-specific. Optimization: featured snippet targeting (voice assistants often read these), conversational content, local SEO, fast page speed. Growing but still small percentage of total searches.
Simple Explanation (ELI13)
Voice search is when you talk to Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant, or your phone instead of typing. People speak differently than they type, usually asking full questions. 'Hey Google, where's the closest pizza place that's open now?' Voice search makes conversational, question-answering content more important.
