Featured Snippet

This handles Featured Snippet optimization, the answer boxes that still appear on about 19% of searches despite AI Overviews taking over most of them. It walks you through the three main formats (paragraph, list, table), shows you how to structure answer-first content in that critical 40-60 word range, and explains why semantic HTML matters more than you'd think. The query targeting section is solid, especially the note that snippets usually come from positions 2-5, not always rank one. What's useful here is the 2025 context: it doesn't pretend snippets are what they were in 2019, acknowledges the zero-click problem and AI Overview overlap, but makes the case that optimizing for snippet structure still helps you get cited by AI systems anyway.
