Speakable Markup – Optimize voice search
Mark content for Google Assistant, Alexa & Siri
The Problem
Voice search is growing exponentially: 50%+ of all searches are voice-based (smartphones, smart speakers, car assistants). But without speakable markup, voice assistants can't know which parts of your page should be read aloud.
The result: Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri read irrelevant parts (navigation, footer, sidebar) or skip your page completely. Users get bad answers and your website is avoided as a source.
Manual implementation of speakable schema is complex: you need to define CSS selectors, validate schema, and test for different assistants – a process that 99% of websites don't perform.
The Solution
Speakable Markup makes voice optimization a one-click process. Mark relevant content areas visually and AEO Pro automatically generates correct speakable schema:
- Visual content selection: Click on paragraphs in the editor that should be read aloud
- Smart recommendations: AI suggests which sections are best suited for voice (short sentences, clear answers)
- Auto CSS selector: Speakable schema with correct CSS selectors is automatically generated
- Length optimization: Warning when marked sections are too long/short for voice (optimal: 20-30 seconds)
- Multi-assistant testing: Test how your content sounds on Google Assistant, Alexa, Siri
- Bulk application: Apply speakable rules to hundreds of pages simultaneously
The generated speakable schema follows exactly Google's specification and is supported by all major assistants.

Use Cases
Recipe blog: Make cooking instructions readable
A food blog marks step-by-step instructions as speakable. Users can now ask Alexa "What's the next step?" while cooking. Traffic from voice increases by 140%, blog becomes #1 voice source for vegan recipes.
Local business: Opening hours & contact
A restaurant marks opening hours, address, and phone as speakable. Google Assistant can now directly answer "Restaurant XY is open Mon-Fri 11am-10pm." Reservations via voice increase by 60%.
News portal: Breaking news readable
A news portal marks first 2 paragraphs of each article as speakable. When asked "What's the news today?" Google Assistant reads their headlines. Voice traffic makes up 25% of mobile traffic.
E-Commerce: Product info for smart speakers
A store marks product descriptions, prices, and availability as speakable. Alexa users can ask "How much is product X?" and get an immediate answer including link to buy (Alexa Shopping).
