Voice search, the technology that allows users to perform a search on the internet by verbally asking a question on a smartphone, smart device or a computer, is growing exponentially. In fact, some SEO specialists predict that by the end of this year, half of all searches across the Internet will be voice searches.So, the question that naturally follows is: How do you optimize your site for voice search?To help come up with an answer, Backlinko analyzed 10,000 Google Home search results and compiled the findings on what comes up in a voice search. More specifically, they investigated the role of 11 potential ranking factors (such as  Page speed, Schema, and HTTPS) on voice search results.Here’s a summary of some of their most interesting discoveries: PageSpeed seems to play a major role in voice search SEO.
