SEO & Content

Featured Snippets

Selected search results displayed prominently at the top of Google, often called 'position zero'.

Understanding Featured Snippets

Featured snippets provide direct answers extracted from web pages, displayed above regular results. Content that wins featured snippets typically has clear structure, concise answers, and strong relevance. The same optimization techniques (direct answers, clear formatting) that win featured snippets also improve AI citation likelihood.
