Use manual search and the same tools to find keywords with featured snippets you can aim for, as well as other related keywords you can leverage. From there, find quick-win opportunities based on your website&#8217;s authority, the content you can optimize, and the structured data you can apply. After making these changes, keep track of what techniques worked for your website, and what didn&#8217;t.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are Featured Snippets?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a type of search engine results page (SERP) feature that answers your questions using a snippet that crawl bots have pulled directly from an article or web page.

Lists can come in numerical format, or in bullet format. You often see these two types when asking for definitions, instructions, and of course, lists of products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recently, I\u2019ve also noticed that Google is pushing for more table and video-formatted featured snippets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tables are common if your search has to do something with product specifications, such as price.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Videos, on the other hand, show up if you\u2019re looking for how-to guides or demonstrations, where Google will show a specific section of a video that it thinks provides the most appropriate answer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last are accordions. These I don\u2019t see as often, but they look a lot like the People Also Ask section. When clicked, the accordion expands and almost always shows you additional featured snippets, which is fascinating.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Important Statistics on Featured Snippets<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s take a look at some general stats that I found from several studies regarding featured snippets. This data can give SEOs and site owners a better look into how they affect SEO, and how to find opportunities to gain more featured snippets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">19-23% of all SERPs include a Featured Snippet<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One study from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/moz.com\/blog\/featured-snippets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moz<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> states that they\u2019re included in about 23% of all SERPs. Another study from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/featured-snippet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SEMRush and Brando<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said they appear in 19% of all SERPs. Either way, this is up over 150% since 2016\u2014that\u2019s wild.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paragraphs and Lists are the most common types of Featured Snippets<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/featured-snippet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SEMRush<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Paragraphs made up 70% of all featured snippets, followed by lists at 19.1%. This study, made in 2020, might not have the most accurate numbers for 2023, but this shows us a pretty clear picture as to what kind of content format is often pushed as featured snippets in Google.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/getstat.com\/blog\/featured-snippets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getstat<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also had the same findings in their own research\u2014showing that Paragraph snippets showed up in 82% of all the featured snippets they saw.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People Also Ask sections are seen on 93.8% of Featured Snippet SERPs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moz, in the same study, noted that we usually see the PAA section whenever there\u2019s a featured snippet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s an example, using the same search query as earlier (what is a featured snippet):<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-207662 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image4-1.png\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image4-1-1024x532.png\" alt=\"The google search for &quot;What is a featured snippet&quot; shows both a featured snippet and a people also ask section on the search results\" width=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image4-1.png 1437w, https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image4-1-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image4-1-1024x532.png 1024w, https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image4-1-768x399.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1437px) 100vw, 1437px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1437px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1437\/747;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is pretty interesting to me, as it shows that whenever there\u2019s a featured snippet, there are several other opportunities for your article or page to get on the search results\u2014even if, organically, it might not be ranking well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can\u2019t get the featured snippet spot, you can seed your keyword research, add some of the PAAs that show up to your content, and gain more chances to get put on the SERPs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/getstat.com\/blog\/featured-snippets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getstat\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> research revealed another interesting tidbit: In 23% of the SERPs with both PAAs and a featured snippet, the first PAA had a similar answer to the featured snippet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Featured Snippets affect your CTR rate<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A study by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/featured-snippets-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ahrefs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a few years back showed that, while featured snippets are eye-catching and informative, they don\u2019t necessarily get the most clicks out of every site on the first page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A page that\u2019s #1 on a SERP <\/span><b>without<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a featured snippet can get about 26% of all clicks. However, a page that\u2019s #1 on a SERP <\/span><b>with<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a featured snippet will only get about 19.6% on average.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means the #0 spot effectively steals a good portion of the clicks from the #1 organic result. Pretty good tradeoff if you can\u2019t quite beat the #1 result, but still want to get tons of clicks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Research Featured Snippet Opportunities<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manually looking for a featured snippet opportunity is going to take a lot of time.

I also have other tips in another article I previously wrote on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/optimizing-featured-snippets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">optimizing for featured snippets<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, if you need more help on that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the previous example, I said I\u2019d add a list for my article targeting the keyword \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/seo-working\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to tell seo is working<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d because that is the type of snippet I saw in the SERPs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If, on the other hand, I saw that it was showing a paragraph-type snippet, then my strategy for this article would change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pro-tip: whatever you saw in the current featured snippet you\u2019re trying to claim, one-up it. If it\u2019s listing, say, the seven benefits of something, list eight to ten. If it\u2019s a concise description of a topic, try doing the same\u2014but with a little extra valuable info (if you have some expertise in the area, this is where it would come in handy).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always <\/span><b>try to beat the value of the current featured snippet<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with the content you\u2019re optimizing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Know your audience\u2019s intent<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of optimizing your content is understanding your audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When people search certain keywords, they are looking for a specific answer\u2014they may not know what that is, yet, but <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">should.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have to know what kind of answer they\u2019re looking for. Knowing that will help you understand how to best answer their query. I dive deep into this topic in my other guide on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/helpful-content-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to make helpful content<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crafting the right response makes it more likely for your content to become a featured snippet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make your content concise and informative.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from using the right type of content, you have to make sure your answers are succinct and relevant to the query. Make your answers as to the point as possible (think 2-3 sentences, max).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why? Google regularly pushes for short yet informative answers in the featured snippet. So, we know this is the way to go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another pro tip: add a quick summary section to your articles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might have seen this in other websites. I\u2019ve also started doing it while I refresh some older content of mine, like this section I added to this article, and some of my older but high-performing work, like my <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/easiest-adding-aggregate-rating-schema-coding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">guide to aggregate rating schema<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-207665 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image7-1.png\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image7-1.png\" alt=\"the tl;dr section that was made for the article on how to add aggregate rating schema\" width=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image7-1.png 726w, https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image7-1-300x167.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 726px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 726\/404;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding a &#8220;too long, didn&#8217;t read&#8221; (tl;dr) to your most popular pages is an easy way of gaining a few featured snippets here and there. Making small additions to deliver your content in a simpler way can actually do a lot for your SEO. Plus, it&#8217;s a really easy way to experiment with your content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use schema markups<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/schema-markup-future-seo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Schema markups<\/a> are lines of code that feed search engines (like Google) data in a structured manner. This helps Google better understand your content and its context, which results in improved snippets, also known as rich snippets.<\/p>\n<p>Applying the right schema markup when applicable can help you win that featured snippet. Some common ones include:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>FAQ schema<\/li>\n<li>How-to schema<\/li>\n<li>Recipe schema<\/li>\n<li>Product schema<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>There are two ways to add schema markups to your website. The first is through plugins, the second is through hard coding. I recommend looking into the different markups you can add to your content on the <a href=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Schema website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep track of featured snippet targets<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, always keep track of your progress. Like I said earlier, you won\u2019t know what\u2019s working out for your SEO and what isn\u2019t if you don\u2019t have a baseline to compare it to. And the same goes for your ongoing progress\u2014so monitor those featured snippet targets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From there, you can continue applying what works well for your website to other pages, and get rid of the strategies that don\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key Takeaway<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As featured snippets continue to dominate the top of the SERPS, knowing how to identify featured snippet opportunities\u2014and how to capture them\u2014can help you increase visibility for your website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a lot of untapped opportunities waiting on your website, so get ready to do some research into your keywords, and deliver the right answers in the right format in simple, concise language.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"wl_entities_gutenberg":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[101508,100018,100013],"tags":[200362,102396,200361],"wl_entity_type":[102583],"class_list":["post-207660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-content-strategy","category-keyword-research-and-optimization","category-seo-tips-and-tricks","tag-featured-snippet-optimization","tag-featured-snippets","tag-how-to-get-featured-snippets","wl_entity_type-article"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How to Identify Featured Snippet Opportunities<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Get ahead in SEO by capturing featured snippets.
