Step 1: Understand the Basics of Voice Search
- Familiarize yourself with how voice search differs from traditional text-based search.
- Recognize that voice searches are typically longer, more conversational, and posed as questions.
Step 2: Set Up HubSpot SEO Tools
- Go to your HubSpot dashboard.
- Navigate to "Marketing" > "Planning and Strategy" > "SEO."
- If you haven't already, set up your SEO tools and connect your domain.
Step 3: Research Voice-Optimized Keywords
- Use HubSpot's keyword tool to identify long-tail, question-based keywords.
- Look for phrases starting with "who," "what," "where," "why," "how," and so on.
- Prioritize locally-relevant keywords if you’re a local business.
Step 4: Create Content Clusters
- Go to the SEO tool in HubSpot.
- Create topic clusters that focus on the primary topic and related subtopics.

Step 5: Optimize Existing Content
- Review your current content and identify areas where you can make it more voice search-friendly.
- Incorporate conversational language and FAQ sections where appropriate.

Step 6: Create New Voice-Optimized Content
- Use HubSpot's content strategy tool to plan and publish new content.
- Write content in a conversational tone.
- Address commonly asked questions in your industry or niche.
Step 7: Use Structured Data
- Even though HubSpot doesn't directly integrate schema markup, consider using external tools to add structured data to your site. This helps search engines better understand your content, which can enhance voice search results.
Step 8: Monitor Traffic and Engagement Metrics
- Regularly check HubSpot's analytics tools.
- Monitor how your voice-optimized content performs in terms of traffic, engagement, and conversions.
Step 9: Utilize HubSpot's Feedback Tools

- Consider conducting surveys to understand how your audience interacts with voice search and your content.
Step 10: Continuously Update Content Strategy

- Regularly revisit and update your content to ensure it remains optimized for voice search.
Step 11: Integrate with Voice-Activated Devices
- If applicable, consider ways to make your content accessible via voice-activated devices like Amazon Alexa or Google Home.
- HubSpot can be integrated with such tools using APIs, making your voice search-optimized content readily available to users.
