# SEO On-Page: Featured Snippet
Guides optimization for Featured Snippets (Position Zero)—direct answers displayed above organic results. Featured snippets appear on ~19% of queries; by 2025, AI Overviews replaced many, but snippet optimization still supports AI citation and PAA. See **serp-features** for full SERP context.
**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
## Scope
- **Featured Snippet formats**: Paragraph, list, table
- **Content structure**: Answer-first, H2/H3, semantic HTML
- **Query targeting**: How, what, why; positions 2–5 opportunity
- **AI Overviews**: Layered content for both snippets and AI citation
## Current Landscape (2025–2026)
