Featured Snippet, explained in plain English
Also called “position zero,” the snippet is Google quoting your content as the direct answer. To win it, answer the target question in one tight, self-contained passage (40–60 words) right after a matching heading, then go deeper in the rest of the page. It’s the highest-visibility, lowest-competition prize in SEO.
