Featured Snippets are brief excerpts from a webpage that shows up in Google’s search results so that the searcher’s questions can get answered quicker than clicking a link in the SERPs. These snippets get automatically pulled from pages that have been indexed by Google.
If your content gets placed into a Featured Snippet, that means you’ll get higher organic traffic and a higher advantage over other results because the featured result is bigger.
