What is Featured Snippets?

Featured snippets are the answer box at the very top of Google results, rendering above the first organic link. They come in several formats: paragraph, numbered list, bulleted list, table, and video. Scavio detects the snippet type, parses the body content into the correct structure (for example, a table becomes an array of rows, a list becomes a string array), and returns the source URL and displayed domain. This lets AI agents and analytics tools consume the snippet without HTML parsing. Because featured snippets are the single biggest driver of click-through rate above AI Overviews, accurately tracking which queries trigger them and which domains own them is a high-value SEO signal.

For AI applications, snippets are a low-effort source of high-quality, factually grounded answers to common questions.
