What Is a Featured Snippet?
A featured snippet is a highlighted search result, shown above standard listings, that directly answers a query using an extract pulled from a ranking page.
Featured snippets are pulled from pages already ranking on page one — the practical strategy is to structure a direct, concise answer near the top of an already-competitive page.
