Featured Snippet Tool



The Featured Snippet Tool provides a list of all campaign keywords that have won a featured snippet for the primary domain and/or top 20 competitors.

Competitive rank and share graphs provide featured snippet summaries, while an analysis table details keywords, domains, landing pages, search volume, and a SERP snapshot. 

Data is provided for the current day, if none of the keywords in the campaign have ranked a snippet, please check again on another day. In the meantime, if you’d like to learn more about featured snippets, we hope you'll find our Complete Guide to Featured Snippets helpful.

The Featured Snippet Tool is available for Google desktop and mobile search engines. If you are not currently tracking keywords on a Google desktop or mobile search engine, you may be able to add one in the Campaign Settings > Search Engines screen depending upon your rank tracking plan.

Featured Snippets Rank & Share Graphs 

 
Competitive Analysis Graphs

At the top of the Featured Snippet Tool results, two graphs provide a summary of the primary domain and other sites successfully competing for featured snippets for the campaign keywords, on the day the data is being viewed:
  • Organic Rank of Search Results with Featured Snippets graph provides the percentage of snippets ranked in positions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
  • Featured Snippet Share presents the primary domain's share vs. that of all competitors.

Note that the number of keywords reflected in the report displays at the top of the report (below the title) in this format: 
       Displaying 26 out of 35 keywords 
This means that the campaign is tracking 35 keywords, and:
  • 26 of 35 keywords ranked with featured snippets 
  • or 26 of the manually selected or tag filtered keywords ranked featured snippets (i.e., perhaps only 26 keywords were selected, or 30 were selected and 26 of those ranked featured snippets)
