Definition
A featured snippet is a block of text, list, or table extracted from a webpage and displayed at the top of Google search results (position zero) to directly answer a user's query. Pages that appear as featured snippets typically format content using clear definitions, numbered steps, or comparison tables that match the query intent. Structured content with concise answers of 40–60 words tends to win paragraph snippets.
