What are Google Featured Snippets? (4 common types explained)
Google featured snippets is the term for a small area of code in between paid ads and organic search results, that Google use to highlight relevant ‘quick answers’ to a search query. To source this material Google relies on their huge index of crawled websites and share what they deem to be the most relevant answer (usually from positions 1-10 organic page 1 ranks), in a format that is easy to understand, quick to digest and keeps the user in the Google system and not bouncing off to another site.
Here’s the blog post that tells you so much more about ✅ what they are, ✅ how you can rank for them and ✅ gives you 5⃣ content ideas! – https://www.myindielifeblog.net/blog/google-featured-snippets
The 4 common types of Google Featured Snippet
• The numbered list – numbered list Google snippets are quick answers to search queries that effectively ask ‘how’ to do something. The list is numbered in steps that form the process of how to complete the task asked about. A search query example of this could be ‘how to wire a plug’.
• The Bullet list – a bullet list Google snippet is a quick answer to a search query that effectively asks ‘what are’ questions. The list is unordered in its response but shares the examples of items you need to consider. A search query example of this could be ‘best tools for social media management’.
• The definition or paragraph – a definition, or a paragraph Google snippet is a quick answer to a search query that effectively asks a ‘what is’ question. The response could be a meaning to something, a brief synopsis of a book, or a movie, or a concise history.
• The chart or table – a chart or table Google snippet is a quick answer to a search query that effectively asks for a data-centric answer. An example of a search query requiring this type of snippet response is ‘what is 3 inches in centimetres?’, or ‘(what is the) number of unemployed (in the) UK’.
