What is Featured snippet?
A featured snippet is the boxed answer Google lifts from one web page and shows at the top of results for a question, above the ordinary links, with the page named beneath it. It is won by answering the question plainly in a form Google can quote.
What it means for a small service business
For a service business the snippets that matter are the practical questions customers ask before ringing: how much, how long, how often, do I need. A page that opens with the direct answer can own that box for its area.
