Does voice search affect AI visibility?

Voice assistants like Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant answer 'find a good [business] near me' with one spoken result — the same single-answer dynamic as AI chat. They draw on overlapping data: verified listings, structured data, reviews and consistent citations. Increasingly, voice and AI-chat answers are converging (Siri routes to Apple Intelligence; Alexa to generative models), so the work that wins one wins the other.
