Google picks a concise, accurate answer from one page. Well-built FAQs and lists increase the chance of getting this spot.
What it means in practice
A featured snippet is a short answer Google shows at the very top of the results, in a box, with a link to the source page. It can be a paragraph, a list of steps or a table.
Why it matters for your business
A featured snippet gives huge visibility – often more than the first position – and builds an expert image. The same snippets are often read out by voice assistants and used by AI.
Examples and good practice
- Answer the question in 40–60 words directly below a question heading.
- Use numbered lists for step-by-step instructions.
- Use tables for comparing prices or specifications.
- Make sure the page is already in the top ten – that’s where Google picks snippets from.
