Pete Meyers From Moz Also Shared His Perspective:
So, Here Is The Highlights:
- Google says a page doesn't have to be in the top 10 results to be a featured snippet.
- Featured snippets are short answers shown at the top of searches.
- This means Google values giving direct responses to users, even if the page isn't ranked high. These snippets offer fast info and can bring lots of visitors.
- To have a better shot at being featured, SEO plans should aim to give clear and direct replies to usual user questions.
