Featured snippets are often confused with answer boxes, but the two are very different. An answer box will provide you with only a simple point-to-point answer, while a featured snippet will give you more detailed information about what you are searching, along with citing a website. Featured snippets have become a popular part of SERPs now with almost 25% of all search result pages including one. This shows that featured snippets are really growing.
What are the various types of featured snippets? There are 5 general types of featured snippets; namely list, table, paragraph, video, and accordion. Paragraphs forms 50% of featured snippets today, and lists form 37%, making them two most popular types of featured snippets. Then, down the list come tables with 9% of presence, followed by videos and accordions, each comprising only 2% of the total space of featured snippets. But, no matter what the type of featured snippet, half of them come with circular options at the bottom, making it easier and faster for you to search.
