Featured snippet
What is featured snippet?
A featured snippet is a short extract shown above the standard results that directly answers a query, pulled from a page the engine considers authoritative.
Why it matters
Snippets favour concise, self-contained answers of roughly 40–60 words placed immediately under a question heading.
Winning one usually means restructuring an existing ranking page rather than writing a new one.
