Featured Snippet

A featured snippet is a highlighted box above or near the top of organic results that quotes a direct answer taken from a web page. It may appear as a paragraph, numbered list, bulleted list or table, always with a link to the source.

Why it matters

Being the quoted source gives visibility and trust. However, the answer can also satisfy the searcher without a click, so the benefit depends on whether the query needs more detail than the snippet offers.

Example

For "how long does DNS propagation take", a page might include a clear definition near a relevant heading:

<h2>How long does DNS propagation take?</h2>
<p>Usually minutes to a few hours, but it can take up to the
record's previous TTL, often 24 to 48 hours.</p>

Concise, direct answers under a matching question heading give a page a better chance, though selection is never guaranteed.

Common mistakes

• Burying the answer deep in long paragraphs.
• Expecting structured data alone to trigger one; snippets come from page text.
• Copying another page's wording instead of writing an original answer.
