Featured Snippet
A featured snippet is a highlighted answer box at the top of Google results that directly answers a query.
In plain English
Google pulls it from a page it deems the best concise answer, as a paragraph, list, or table. You earn one by answering a specific question clearly and early on a page that already ranks on page one.
Why it matters for SEO
Position zero captures clicks above the #1 organic result and powers voice-assistant answers.
