Featured Snippet
Factual definition
Featured Snippets in Google, also referred to as “direct answer” or “the answer box,” are short answers provided by Google immediately on the Search Engine Results Page (SERP). This is a practical attempt by Google to easily provide the most relevant answer to the user’s search query in a simple way right at the top of the SERP, thus avoiding the need to visit a website.
