Voice Search Submission Hub Where to deploy your FAQ schema & content

You cannot submit directly to voice assistants — they pull answers from your website schema, GBP, and directory listings. This hub shows you exactly where to deploy your FAQ content so every voice assistant can find it.

Google Assistant

Reads FAQ schema from your website and GBP posts. Copy the schema below and paste into every service page <head> tag. 90% of US voice searches go through Google.

Apple Siri

Siri pulls local business data from Apple Maps and Yelp. Claiming your Apple Maps listing is the direct submission path — no API needed.

Amazon Alexa

Alexa uses Bing for search and has a formal Yext partnership for local business data. Submit to Bing Places and sync via Yext for best coverage.

Bing / Cortana

Bing reads FAQ schema from your website and Bing Places for local data. Use the IndexNow API key already collected to notify Bing when schema is deployed.

Samsung Bixby

Bixby uses Google for web results and TripAdvisor / Yelp for local businesses. Optimising for Google covers Bixby automatically.

Deployment Checklist — Do These in Order

1. Generate + validate FAQ schema — Use the answers above, copy the JSON-LD, run through Google's Rich Results Test 2. Add schema to every service page — Paste the <script type="application/ld+json"> block into the <head> of each page, not just the homepage 3. Post FAQ content to GBP — Google reads your GBP posts for voice answers. Use the GBP Scheduler to post your top 5 Q&As. 4. Claim Apple Maps — Visit mapsconnect.apple.com and verify your listing for Siri coverage 5. Submit to Bing Places + ping IndexNow — Covers Alexa (via Bing) and Cortana. Use the Ping Bing button above after schema is deployed. 6. Claim/update Yelp listing — Covers Siri, Bixby, and Alexa local results simultaneously

Featured Snippet Brief Builder

Target Keyword (the term you want to rank for)

Your 40–60 word snippet will appear here. Voice assistants read this verbatim.

Snippet Optimisation Tips

40–60 words — the sweet spot for featured snippets. Under 40 words lacks detail; over 60 words gets cut off in voice responses.

Start with the answer — lead with the direct response, then add supporting detail. Don't bury the lede.

Include the keyword — the exact phrase from the search query should appear naturally in the answer.

Add to FAQ Schema — wrap each Q&A pair in FAQPage JSON-LD. Google uses this to generate voice answers.

Mobile page speed — voice results are almost exclusively served from pages scoring 80+ on PageSpeed mobile.

HTTPS required — all voice result sources must be HTTPS. No exceptions across any platform.

Common NAP Inconsistency Issues & How to Fix Them

❌ Phone Variations

Same number formatted differently: (512) 555-0100 vs 512-555-0100 vs 5125550100. Google treats these as different data points.

Fix: Standardise to (XXX) XXX-XXXX across all directories.

⚠ Address Variants

Street vs St vs St. — Suite 100 vs Ste 100 vs #100. These all signal different locations to Google.

Fix: Use USPS format — match exactly what appears on your Google Business Profile.

ℹ Name Variations

Acme Plumbing vs Acme Plumbing Co vs Acme Plumbing Company. Inconsistent names dilute citation authority.

Fix: Use the exact GBP name — no trademarked symbols unless on GBP itself.
