A featured snippet is a special search result that appears above the regular organic results (position 0). It extracts and displays a direct answer from a webpage, including paragraph, list, table, or video formats.

## Example

Query: 'How to tie shoelaces' → Featured snippet shows step-by-step instructions pulled from a webpage.

## How to apply it

Target question-based queries, structure content with clear headings, use lists/tables, answer the query concisely in 40-60 words, provide comprehensive follow-up content.

> **Pro tip:** Check what format the current snippet uses (paragraph, list, table) and match it. Google prefers keeping the same format.
