Write conversationally

People speak in full questions. Use natural, question-style headings and direct, spoken-friendly answers.

Keep answers concise

Voice answers are short. Provide a clear one- or two-sentence answer the assistant can read aloud.

Audit the page

The AEO Checker checks answer-up-top, question headings and schema.

Frequently asked questions

How do I optimise for voice search?

Use natural question headings, give short direct answers, and add FAQ schema so assistants can read a clean response.

Is voice search part of AEO?

Yes. Voice assistants are answer engines, so optimising for them is AEO.
