When we type search we often use keywords
But, when we use voice search, we ask the search engine a question
Use this regular expression in GA:
(^(c|C)an )|(^(d|D)oes )|(^(w|W)hat )|(^(h|H)ow )|(^(i|I)s )|(^(w|W)hat )|(^(w|W)here )|(^(w|W)hich )|(^(w|W)ho )|(^(w|W)ill )|(^(w|W)ould )
Of course you can!
