When does Google show featured snippets?
Google displays a featured snippet in search when they believe this format will help people more easily discover what they’re seeking for. It’s basically an evolution taking place inside the search results focussed on improving overall user experience.
The relation between featured snippets Mobile and Voice search
According to Google, the featured snippet format is especially helpful for those on mobile or searching by voice. Since the incredible growth of both mobile and voice search (Mobile search traffic has surpassed desktop traffic worldwide), more people are doing voice queries every day.
Therefore Google will show the traditional 10 links format less and less, and rich results like featured snippets are Google’s answer to improve search experience.
How popular are featured snippets?
Based on an Ahrefs study approximately 13% of US search queries display featured snippets.
Because there’s a high level of language understanding and interpretation involved on Google’s part to extract and generate these direct answers, you can see big differences between languages, when it comes how often and when featured snippets are triggered.
