“Hey Siri, how can a mother help a colicky baby?” asks a reporter who’s writing a story for Parents magazine.

If you’re a parenting expert who has written a blog post on “How mothers can help colicky babies,” your article has a chance of being found in voice search.

Here’s a super tip from Website Magazine on how to rank well when people are searching by voice, as well as by typing their questions into the search engines.

One out of five voice searches are prompted by a combination of just 25 keywords. In fact, the word “how” is part of a little more than 8 percent of all voice search queries.

To align better with voice search, your content should be conversational. You should structure the keywords in them in the way you talk because people are searching by talking. More specifically, the content should be focused on answering queries with the words: who, what, when, where, why and how.

Why is this important? Because by next year, one-half of all search sessions will be voice-activated through voice assistants like Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, Microsoft’s Cortana, Bixby, and Google Assistant.
