In 2025, over 300 million Indians use voice search on a weekly basis. Google Assistant, Siri, and Amazon Alexa now understand Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi, and regional English accents — meaning local queries like "best restaurant in Calicut open now" or "web design company near me in Kannur" are being answered by voice assistants using featured snippets from websites.
How Voice Search Differs from Text Search
When someone types, they use fragments: "web development company Cochin".
When someone speaks, they ask complete questions: "Which is the best web development company in Cochin?"
Google's voice results almost always pull from position zero — featured snippets, People Also Ask boxes, and Google Business Profile data. Traditional keyword-ranked page 1 positions are not enough.
Optimisation Strategies That Work
FAQ-Formatted Content
Structure your service pages with clear question-and-answer sections. Questions like "How much does web development cost in Kerala?" or "What services does DBes Techno offer?" directly match voice queries and increase your chances of earning featured snippet position.
Google Business Profile Completeness
100% of "near me" voice searches pull from Google Business profiles. For Kerala businesses targeting local clients in Calicut, Kannur, or Kollam, having a fully completed, consistently updated GBP with photos, hours, and regular posts is non-negotiable.
Schema Markup
LocalBusiness, FAQPage, and HowTo schema markup help Google understand and surface your content in voice results. DBes Techno implements comprehensive Schema.org markup on all client websites as a standard practice.
Page Speed
Voice results load within seconds. Pages that take more than 3 seconds to load are almost never selected for voice answers. Mobile page speed is therefore directly tied to voice search visibility.
