How To Win Featured Snippets

You can use ChatGPT prompts to win featured snippets.

Here’s how I like to do it for informational posts. 

Prompt:

I want an Answer Target Section from below. This section should provide a concise answer to the topic within 50 words. This section aims to ensure that the article is featured in the Google snippet and should provide a straightforward answer without any fluff.

[paste in the article]

Ai likes to not stick to 50 words. 

I paste this into a free word counter, and check the count. 

Check what it says.

And add another prompt:

That’s x words i need 50

Then check again but it should be sorted.

How to win Best or Roundup post featured snippets

After your intro, always drop an H2.

Same as your title or closely related keyword.

Then, have a bullet point list of the products.

Remember: Segment each product with descriptors like “Best Overall.”

This structure wins featured snippets for round-up reviews.

Segmenting the products will show up in the SERPs.

It helps build curiosity.

People want to find out why that product is the “best x for y.”

It improves CTR instead of somebody seeing the products and Googling them instead of using your affiliate links.
