Google Featured Snippets Are Impacted By Algorithmic Updates
Dr. Pete, Pete Meyers, from Moz, posted on Twitter “Any algo substitute that impacts question interpretation or relevance will impact Featured Snippets.” This became once retweeted by Google’s John Mueller, so I pronounce that is a vote of self assurance without passing DA ;-). In all seriousness, now we obtain all viewed it, featured snippets are very finicky and substitute a lot but algorithm updates can cause them as effectively.
Right here is the tweet:
Standard FYI — Any algo substitute that impacts question interpretation or relevance will impact Featured Snippets. Featured Snippets *are* natural rankings, and so that they're detached (best I do know) chosen from page one. The unreal is a separate path of, but they're constructed on the core algo.

Google has said a mode of occasions that staunch algorithm updates without delay impact featured snippets, in conjunction with a freshness algorithm in February and even BERT – on yarn of Google understands these longer phrases greater. But in addition, we all know that the featured snippets algorithm is heavily utilizing machine studying above and previous appropriate BERT. And Google has told us these featured snippets substitute usually on yarn of of it.
That being said, most on the total, a featured snippet will doubtless be came upon within the tip ten results on Google – on the total top three. But not consistently.
Appealing – develop you obtain gotten examples? I've simplest viewed it when “page 1” became once being resized (admire soliciting for 100 leads to the URL), which once in a while pulls a consequence from 11+. It's been my plan that these are real-time, but then you definately watch original exceptions that accumulate you wonder.

I really obtain viewed random examples over time, obtain you?
