> Featured Snippets

There is some type of featured snippets available in google

1.The Paragraph Featured Snippet

    This is the quintessential featured snippet we all know and love. Google extracts text from a page in an attempt to answer the searcher’s question.

    The way to make this kind of snippet help, instead of hurt, your click-through rate, is by answering the question immediately, and then including additional information that sparks the searcher’s interest and encourages them to click through.

You can see paragraph snippets for questions like:

• How to do/ get...
• Who is...
• Why is...
• What is...

2.The Numbered List Featured Snippet

These featured snippets often list out steps that explain how to do something, such as recipes.

What’s great about the example below is that it’s instantly clear that this will take you through the process step by step, but searchers are likely to click through to see accompanying photos or read the extra details.

You’ll see numbered list snippets for:

• Recipes
• DIY tasks
• How to…
• How do I…

3.The Bulleted List Featured Snippet

This is one where content managers and SEO pros can both rejoice.

Listicle articles are made for these types of featured snippets, whether you’re ranking items or simply listing them.

• Best of lists
• Ranked items
• Unranked items
• Feature lists

4.The Table Featured Snippet

Table snippets are surprisingly popular, making up 29% of all snippets. Google really likes to show off its capabilities with these. It doesn’t just pull the information and spit it out the way it’s formatted – it can pull the specific information the user is looking for, and recreate its own table.

You’ll see table featured snippets for:

• Lists
• Pricing
• Rates
• Data
