Featured Snippet
A highlighted answer box that appears at the very top of some search results, pulled directly from a web page.
A featured snippet is the boxed answer that sometimes appears right at the top of Google results, above the normal listings. It directly answers a question by pulling a short paragraph, list, or table straight from a web page, with a link back to the source.
Often called "position zero", earning a featured snippet can send a lot of traffic your way and positions you as an authority. To win one, clearly answer common questions on your page, use concise paragraphs and well-structured lists, and format content so Google can easily lift the answer.
