Featured snippets are concise answers displayed at the top of Google’s search results, often referred to as “Position Zero.” These snippets highlight information directly from a webpage, making it easier for users to find answers without scrolling through multiple links.

Why Do Featured Snippets Matter?

• Boost Visibility: They appear above organic results, making your content the first thing users see.
• Drive Traffic: Users are more likely to click on content that Google highlights as the best answer.
• Optimize for Voice Search: Voice assistants often pull responses from featured snippets.
