A featured snippet is the answer box Google shows above the first organic result — "position zero." Winning it means huge visibility and often feeds voice and AI answers too.
Types of Snippets
- Paragraph: a concise text answer (most common).
- List: steps or ranked items.
- Table: comparison data.
How to Win Them
- Identify questions you already rank on page one for.
- Answer the question directly in 40-60 words.
- Use the format Google prefers for that query (list, table, paragraph).
- Add clear question headings.
Why It Feeds AEO
Voice assistants and AI Overviews frequently pull from featured snippets. Winning position zero often means winning across answer surfaces.
