Google: Featured Snippet

SERP Features

What are Featured Snippets on Google?

Featured snippets are Google’s way of providing the most relevant answer to a search query in the most direct way possible. Information is taken directly from a website, usually one that is already ranking in the top five organic results. They can appear in different forms, like a paragraph, bulleted or numbered lists, and tables. These always appear on top of organic results, but still below paid ads.

Google search results on desktop and mobile showing a featured snippet, with a highlighted excerpt from a webpage displayed prominently at the top of the results to directly answer the user’s query.
