Consistent business listings
Name, address, phone, hours, and categories matched on Google Business Profile, Apple Business, and Bing Places.
The Problem
Your Customers Ask Their Phones, and Hear a Competitor's Name
This shows up when people ask a phone or a smart speaker for a business near them. The assistant reads one answer from listings and pages, and if your details are off, you're skipped.
Old hours
Listings show different hours on Google, Apple, and Bing.
Old hours
We match name, address, phone, and hours across all 3 listings.
No answer
The site skips the questions customers actually ask aloud.
No answer
We write short spoken-style answers to real customer questions on your pages.
Long reads
Answers run too long for an assistant to read out.
Long reads
We keep each spoken answer to 2 or 3 plain sentences.
Slow pages
Mobile pages load slowly on the phones people use.
Slow pages
We fix the slowest mobile templates so answer pages load quickly on a phone.
A driver asks Siri to find a plumber open now nearby. Your Apple Maps place card still shows last year's hours, so Siri suggests someone else. On Google, your profile lists the old phone number. Your site has a services page, but no plain answer to what a callout costs or how fast you can come. Someone asks a smart speaker the same question and hears a rival's name and a review score. You did the SEO work. Nobody checked what an assistant reads out loud.
We start with the listings assistants read first: Google Business Profile, Apple Business for Siri and Apple Maps, and Bing Places. Every name, address, phone number, and opening hour gets matched. Then we write short spoken-style answers to your customers' real questions, test them by ear on Google, Siri, and Alexa, and tidy mobile speed. Your listing finally says what your sign says.
Listings assistants read
Google Business Profile, Apple Business, and Bing Places made consistent for every location you serve.
Answers written to be spoken
Short, plain passages of 2 to 3 sentences that sound natural when an assistant reads them aloud.
Tested by ear
Every target question asked out loud on Google, Siri, and Alexa before and after launch.
Our Voice Search Optimization Services Process
From Free Voice Check to Spoken Answers in Five Clear Steps
You hear what assistants say about you today before you pay. Then you approve the listing fixes, the question list, and every answer, and we retest everything by ear after launch.
We ask 10 of your customers' likely questions on Google, Siri, and Alexa and record what each one answers. You get the recordings, the listing gaps we found, and a fixed price on a short call.
What's Included
What You Get From Our Voice Search Optimization Agency
You get 3 listings made consistent and a list of spoken customer questions. Each one gets a short answer written to be read aloud, with matching markup, faster mobile pages, and tests on 3 assistants.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built apps, platforms, and websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Local Businesses Choose a Voice Search Optimization Expert Like Us
Voice assistants read only one answer, so small details decide who gets named. We check those details by hand, test by ear, and say plainly what nobody can control.
No promised spoken answers
Google, Apple, and Amazon decide what their assistants say, and nobody outside can book that answer. We fix what feeds it and report what changed.
We listen, not just crawl
Rank trackers can't hear a smart speaker. We ask every target question out loud and keep the recordings for your report.
Listings fixed by hand
Bulk directory tools can miss the 3 listings that matter most to assistants. We check Google, Apple, and Bing ourselves, field by field.
Speakable, honestly explained
Google's Speakable markup is a beta for English news publishers on US Google Home devices. If you aren't one, we won't sell it to you.
Short answers, real words
We write answers the way your staff would say them on the phone. Jargon and long sentences get cut, because they sound wrong read aloud.
Your listings stay yours
Every listing stays in your own accounts with your team as owner. We work as added users you can remove at any time.

Good fit
Home service and repair businesses
Your customers ask their phones for someone open now nearby, and your listing hours differ between Google, Apple Maps, and Bing.
Restaurants, gyms, and salons
You get questions like do you take walk-ins or are you open late, and your site doesn't answer them in plain words.
Brands with several locations
Your locations each have a Google profile, but nobody has checked their Apple Maps place cards or Bing Places listings in years.
Owners curious about voice assistants
You keep hearing about seo for voice search and want to know what assistants actually say about you before spending on it.
Agencies with UK and Australian clients
Your clients write voice search optimisation in their briefs, and you want the listing and answer work delivered under your agency's brand.
Not a fit
Written answers across engines
You want answers ready for featured snippets and AI chat, not just voice. Answer Engine Optimization Services covers every written answer format.
Monthly local SEO program
You need monthly reviews, citations, and map pack work, not a one-time project. Local SEO Services runs that as a monthly program.
Only the Google box
Your goal is the featured snippet on a few Google queries. Featured Snippet Optimization is a smaller sprint built around those queries.
Online-only business
You sell online with no location or service area, so listings don't apply. If written answers fit you better, we'll tell you before we quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on cost, timing, how voice search works, and whether it's worth doing.
Saimul IslamFounder & CEO, DeveloperLookStill have questions?
Send a message or book a call with the team.
Our projects start at $600 for Voice Starter: 1 location on 3 listing platforms and 30 spoken questions answered. Voice Ready costs $1,150 for up to 3 locations, 60 questions, and LocalBusiness markup. Voice Network costs $1,800 for up to 8 locations and 100 questions. You get a fixed proposal after the free voice check.
Most projects take 2 to 4 weeks. Listing edits can show within days, but platforms sometimes review changes, and verification steps can add time. Spoken answers on your site need a recrawl before assistants can use them, so we retest after launch and keep checking your listings for 30 days.
It's the work of making your business easy for voice assistants to find, describe, and recommend. Assistants usually read one answer, drawn from business listings and web pages. So the work is accurate listings, short spoken-style answers on your site, and pages that load fast on a phone.
Start with your listings, because assistants lean on them for near-me questions. Match your details on Google Business Profile, Apple Business, and Bing Places. Then answer real customer questions in 2 or 3 plain sentences on your site, add matching LocalBusiness markup, and test each question out loud.
Voice search SEO is ordinary SEO adjusted for questions people speak instead of type. Spoken queries tend to be longer and phrased as full questions, often with near me or open now in them. It favors accurate listings, direct answers, and fast mobile pages over long keyword-heavy copy.
Yes, if customers find you locally or ask quick questions before they call. Most of the work also improves your regular local results, so little effort is wasted. If you sell only online with no location, voice matters less, and written answer work may be the better spend.
Keep listings identical everywhere, answer one question per passage in plain words, and lead with the answer. Use the phrases customers actually say, including near me and open now. Keep mobile pages fast, add LocalBusiness markup that matches your listings, and test by asking the questions out loud on real devices.
Only for a narrow group. Google's Speakable structured data is a beta for English-language news publishers, used by Google Assistant on Google Home devices in the US. For a local business it does nothing, so we spend that time on listings and spoken answers instead.
Partly. Each assistant draws on different sources, so a listing missing on one platform can hide you on that assistant only. Siri leans on Apple Maps data, which you manage in Apple Business. Google's assistant uses Google Business Profile and Search. That's why we test the same questions on all 3.
You keep full ownership of every listing, the spoken question list, the answers on your site, and the before-and-after recordings. We hand over a short guide for updating hours and holidays on all 3 platforms. During the 30 days after launch, we check listings for unwanted edits and fix them.
