Snippet detector

Why this matters for your business

Featured snippets (the "answer box" at top of Google results) get 30-50% of clicks for queries that have one. Other SERP features — knowledge panels, image carousels, FAQ snippets, shopping units — similarly capture outsized attention. Winning these features can 2-3× the traffic to a page without changing its underlying ranking.

But winning featured snippets is non-obvious — you need to match the format Google expects (definition, list, table) + have the right schema + answer the question concisely. Most brands rank well but don't win the snippet because they don't optimize for it explicitly.

The snippet detector identifies pages eligible for featured snippets (close to ranking + correct format) and suggests specific content edits to win them.
