In my opinion, adapting to voice search while maintaining traditional SEO is all about balance. I've incorporated conversational keywords to match natural speech and ensured my site is mobile-friendly since voice searches often happen on mobile. At the same time, I keep producing high-quality content that directly answers users' questions. This approach keeps my site optimized for both voice and traditional search, maintaining strong search rankings.

Optimize for Conversational Keywords: Focus on natural, question-based phrases that people use in voice searches while still maintaining traditional keywords. This ensures you capture both voice—and text-based search traffic.
- Improve Page Speed and Mobile Experience: Voice search users often expect quick answers. Ensure your site loads fast and is mobile-friendly to meet the demands of both voice and traditional search users.
- Provide Clear, Structured Content: Use schema markup and concise answers to common questions to increase your chances of appearing in voice search results while still ranking well in traditional search.

Voice searches are a bit conversational in comparison to conventional typed search queries.
e.g. - A typed search could be "best pizzeria gurgaon" whereas a voice search may be "Which is the best pizzeria near me in Gurgaon".
Hence, we should use a balanced approach for balancing both (voice search & fundamental SEO) by optimizing my content for natural/human language queries by incorporating long-tail keywords and user phrases.
Adding common questions that users could ask will give an extra boost to your SEO performance.
