Was ist Featured Snippet?
Kurzdefinition
Ein Featured Snippet ist ein spezielles Suchfeld, das oben in Google-Ergebnissen erscheint und eine direkte Antwort auf die Anfrage eines Nutzers aus einer Webseite anzeigt.
Featured snippets are Google's attempt to answer a searcher's question directly on the results page, without requiring them to click through to a website. They appear above the #1 organic result (position zero) and include a text excerpt, paragraph, list, or table pulled from a web page, along with the page's title and URL.
There are several types of featured snippets. Paragraph snippets answer 'what is' and 'how does' questions with a brief text block. List snippets display step-by-step instructions or ranked items. Table snippets show data comparisons or specifications. Video snippets feature YouTube videos with timestamps for specific answers.
To optimize for featured snippets, you need to create content that directly and concisely answers common questions. Structure your content with clear headers (H2, H3) that pose questions, followed by concise answers in the first paragraph. Use lists and tables where appropriate. Target keywords that already have featured snippets and create better, more complete answers.
Featured snippets are both an opportunity and a challenge. While they drive significant visibility and brand authority, they can also reduce click-through rates because users get their answer without visiting your site (known as zero-click searches).
Warum es wichtig ist
Featured snippets capture a disproportionate share of clicks — studies show they receive 8-35% of clicks for their query. Winning a featured snippet can instantly jump your content from page 1 to the absolute top of search results.
For brand authority, appearing in featured snippets positions your business as the definitive source on a topic. Voice assistants like Google Assistant and Alexa often read featured snippets aloud, making them critical for voice search optimization.
