According to Moz, a whopping 23% of all search result pages include a featured snippet.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, the first thing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/serp-features\/\">users see on the SERP<\/a> is a featured snippet. According to a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.perficientdigital.com\/insights\/our-research\/featured-snippets-guide\"> recent study<\/a>, the number of results in Position zero of Google or featured snippets has been increasing steadily every year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Google featured snippets are an astounding opportunity for advertisers to soar above their competitors on page one, increase online visits, and boost conversions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>The increasing popularity of featured snippets can be attributed to the fact that they provide users with quick and informative results. However, discussions are ripe about how featured snippets optimization are resulting in more \u201cno-click\u201d results.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s barely a need to click on different websites and look for answers to the user&#8217;s queries. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/how-to-featured-snippet-box?__hstc=240018588.deb4ff8e8476ae32ece831b83844accb.1560248315363.1560248315363.1569824311091.2&amp;__hssc=240018588.1.1569824311091&amp;__hsfp=1721107091\">Hubspot<\/a> has a different story to tell as their report suggests that the website that makes it to the featured snippets gets a 2x higher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/ctr\/\">click-through-rate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h2>What Are Featured Snippets?<\/h2>\n<p>If you aren&#8217;t already familiar with featured snippets, it refers to the search results that appear at the top of the SERP, above the first organic search result (Position 1). This is the reason why featured snippets are also known as Position zero results. <\/p>\n<p>In a featured snippet, you can usually find a part of the content taken from a website indexed by Google that shows the answer to the specific query of an end-user.\u00a0However, featured snippets are different from Google Answer Box as these are results that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/google-algorithm-updates\/\">Google\u2019s algorithm<\/a> auto-generates rather than taken from the websites that are indexed. In addition to this, Google Answer Box is not attributed to any website.<\/p>\n<h2>Types of Featured Snippets<\/h2>\n<h3>Paragraph featured snippets<\/h3>\n<p>Paragraph featured snippets appear on the top of the SERP as an excerpt from a webpage answering your specific query.<\/p>\n<h3>List snippets<\/h3>\n<p>List snippets appear in the form of a list as shown below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4430 size-full aligncenter\" title=\"List Featured Snippet in Google SERP\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/list-featured-snippet.png\" alt=\"List Featured Snippet\" width=\"670\" height=\"485\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Table featured snippets<\/h3>\n<p>The table featured snippets show content in the form of a table in position 0 of SERP.<\/p>\n<h3>Video featured Snippets<\/h3>\n<p>The video featured snippets usually appear when you want to learn a tutorial.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-35309 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/video-featured-snippet.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"675\" height=\"622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/video-featured-snippet.png 675w, https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/video-featured-snippet-300x276.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h3>Accordion<\/h3>\n<p>Accordion featured snippets appear as hidden tabs on the SERP, which you need to click on to retrieve the content.<\/p>\n<h2>Why do I need featured snippets?<\/h2>\n<p>Featured snippets offer maximum visibility to the content published on websites. They have more value than any other standard search results as these are considered by users as recommendations from Google.<\/p>\n<p>The best part about being visible in a featured snippet is that you don&#8217;t need to rank number 1 in the SERP order to be featured. You can rank in Position 3 or Position 5 and still find a place in the featured snippet if your content is relevant to what the end-user is looking for.<\/p>\n<p>A featured snippet is also beneficial for brand recognition. When a search query is placed through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/voice-search\/\">voice search<\/a>, Google reads out the featured snippet result beginning with, &#8220;according to (your website name)\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As per an <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/find-featured-snippets\/\">Ahrefs<\/a> report, if you get a featured snippet as well as Position 1 in the SERP, it may translate into more than 28% of all clicks to your page!<\/p>\n<p>Many businesses wonder whether featured snippets drive traffic since people can get all the required information without clicking on the website link<\/p>\n<p>Adding maximum information in your content is the best way to drive traffic through the featured snippet. That way, when Google shows your content snippet in the form of a list or table, it adds a &#8220;More items&#8221; or &#8220;More rows&#8221; link in the end. This encourages users to click on the link to get complete information.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h2>Do I have a chance to get featured?<\/h2>\n<p>As indicated in a <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/featured-snippets-study\/\">study<\/a> conducted by Ahrefs, 99.58% of featured snippets officially rank in the top 10 search results of Google. So if you are now positioning high for related search queries, you have great opportunities to get included.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, another study guarantees that 70% of snippets originated from destinations outside of the primary organic ranking. Therefore, it&#8217;s required that the page is positioned in the top 10, yet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/featured-snippets-blocked\/\">it&#8217;s not necessary to be #1 to be included<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While creating new content for your website, look for related keywords that are ranking for featured snippets. Take a cue from the already ranking content and try to write something more informative to take over the featured snippet position for that particular keyword.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to increase your chances of ranking in the featured snippets is to look for questions that people ask online.<\/p>\n<p>As you cover those questions in your content, the chances of it being featured in Position 0 also increases. If you already have existing content that answers most queries and ranks on the top of the SERP, try to optimize it even further to find a place in Position 0.<\/p>\n<h2>Identifying Featured Snippet Opportunities<\/h2>\n<p>While creating new content for your website, look for related keywords that are ranking for featured snippets.

Optimize Content to Rank on Top<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before you seek out to rank for the featured snippet on Google, you must strive to find a top position on the SERP. The featured snippet is mostly likely to rank from the top 5 results of the SERP.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Write_Content_That_Answer_Questions\"><\/span>2. Write Content That Answer Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most people, while surfing the web, use search terms in the form of questions that start with words like what, when, how, whom, why, or where. Therefore, ensure that you are optimizing the content for question-based keywords. Also, when you write content, make sure that it answers these questions comfortably. This way, you will have a chance to rank in the featured snippets as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, for example, instead of writing &#8220;5 easy ways to make a cake,&#8221; try writing &#8220;how to bake a cake easily?&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Answer_Related_Queries\"><\/span>3.

Every section of the content, including H1, H2, H3, etc. should answer questions related to the target keyword. According to a study by <a href=\"https:\/\/moz.com\/blog\/state-of-searcher-behavior-revealed\">Jumpshot <\/a>published on Moz, almost 8% of the search terms in 2017 were question-based.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The best way to identify the questions asked by the target audience is by analyzing the &#8220;People also asked section on the SERP.

Write Short &amp; Crisp Answers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The more concise your answer is, the easier it gets for Google to identify the content and deem whether it satisfies the online query or not.

Add FAQ Section to Your Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>An FAQ section can improve your chances of showing up in the featured snippet. Proper schema markup for FAQ pages can showcase a fruitful search result to the right audience and increase the CTR along with the possibility to rank in Position 0.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Format_Content_Structure_For_Featured_Snippets\"><\/span>7. Format Content Structure For Featured Snippets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Try to format your website content to fit the five types of featured snippets mentioned in the section above. Content structured as lists has the maximum probability of ranking as a featured snippet. Use heading tags like H2 and H3 to create a list structure for your content. Also, ensure to add a heading for every individual step explained.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Add_a_Table_of_Content_With_Anchor_Links\"><\/span>8. Add a Table of Content With Anchor Links<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Adding the &#8216;Table of Contents&#8217; to any blog post makes it easier for Google to identify the potential for featured snippets. The best way to go about it is to make sure you list the content in a well-structured manner. Place the table between the introduction and the conclusion and link each section to the respective part in the TOC.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Optimize_Image_For_Featured_Snippets\"><\/span>9. Optimize Image For Featured Snippets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the text used in featured snippets, you should also try to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/blog\/image-algorithm-seo\/\">optimize the image for featured snippets<\/a>. Unlike the text, the image that appears alongside some snippets can be from a different website. Look for the current featured image for a given keyword and try to optimize the image on your site with something more appealing. Add an alt text that is more relevant to the keyword and the given query and add it on the top part of your blog post\/website content. Also, ensure that you go for original images only.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Improvise_on_the_Existing_Snippet\"><\/span>10. Improvise on the Existing Snippet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Look for a featured snippet and try to analyze the gaps in your content that are preventing it from ranking in Position 0.
