Featured Snippet
A short, extracted answer Google displays at the top of search results, pulled directly from a ranking page.
Detailed Explanation
A featured snippet is a summarized answer — a paragraph, list, or table — that Google extracts from a web page and displays above the standard organic results. Pages that answer a question clearly and concisely are more likely to be selected. The same structuring habits that win featured snippets also make content easier for AI systems to extract and quote.
Why It Matters
Featured snippets preview how AI Overviews and chatbots select content to quote: clear, self-contained, well-formatted answers get pulled first.
