Google makes it super easy for you.
If you have a question and don\’t have much time to dive into the ocean of blogs and information, Google makes it very easy for you: the Featured Snippets!
What are Featured Snippets? 🤓
Featured Snippets are search results that give users direct answers to questions or other keywords.
When you ask a question in the Google search engine (for example \»How to do ASO for app?\» Or \»What will the weather be like tomorrow?\») or when you search specific keywords, you will receive an answer in a differentiated block at the top of the search results page. In this special block is the highlighted fragment which is a summary automatically extracted from the content of a website, the featured snippet.
How many types of Featured Snippets can you find?
There are 5 types of Featured Snippets:
Paragraph Snippets 📝
These represent the majority of snippets that appear in search results (almost 80%).
Numbered list Snippets 🔢
These results are usually given when there\’s a process that needs to be explained.
Bulleted List Snippets 🗒
These are for the ordered or ranked results.
Table Snippets
Data from certain websites appears based on user searches.
Video Snippets 🎥
When you search on Google, you can get a YouTube video as a result..
Benefits of appearing in Featured Snippets
The benefits of appearing in Featured Snippets are:
More visibility 👁️
The zero position at the top of the search results is a privileged position since Google allows many users to see your web.
Increases web traffic 🌐
Featured Snippets were introduced in January 2014 by Google and users saw an increase in web traffic.
Higher click-through rate 👇
Being in Featured Snippets increases the click-through rate (CTR).
How to rank in Google’s Featured Snippets?
Featured Snippets appear in position zero on the first page of the results. Achieving this position implies greater visibility, better positioning for voice searches and an increase in CTR. These snippets are snippets taken from the top 10 positions and are chosen from the content that the Google algorithm considers the best answer.
Tips to get featured in Google snippets
How to get featured in Google snippets?
Include the question or keywords that you want to position in the title and in the first heading of the post (using the tags \»h1, h2, …\» for the questions and \»\» for the answer). Develop and provide more information in the rest of the article.
Structure your answer using tables or numbering and bullets, using the tags “”, “” and “”.
Includes numeric data and long-tail keywords.
Use synonyms and related terms so Google\’s latent semantic indexing can identify relational patterns between word meanings in your texts. To sum up, make it easier for Google to discover the main topic of your article.
