Featured Snippets are the most exciting thing in
search.

The best part about Featured Snippets is that they tend to occupy position 0
(coined by @dr_pete) above the organic listings.

To earn snippets, you need
to optimize your content
for specific answers.

Haaaay... he didn't say
keywords... what's going
on here, buddy?

Featured Snippets tend to be displayed in response to
search questions.

YOUR
MESSAGE
ANSWERS
TO YOUR
CUSTOMERS'
NEEDS

Five tools that find the questions customers
are asking:
KeywordTool.io SerpStat.com UberSuggest.io
AnswerThePublic.com Soovle.com

Ok, so how does this help
me get conversions?

Your content strategy likely targets the three main stages
of customer journeys and looks something like this.

Optimizing for Answers is easy to bolt onto
your existing content strategy.

Awareness
“How do small businesses setup payroll”

Consideration
“Best payroll software for small businesses”

Keywords are still important.
Use them in the following
familiar places...

However, keyword optimization
earn you a Featured Snippet.

SEMrush analyzed 100,000
keywords. They found that the
average length of a search phrase
with a Featured Snippet is six words.

43% of searches with 8+ words show
Featured Snippets

40 to 50 words is the sweet spot for Featured
Snippet length

Google tends to show landscape images
around 285 x 160 pixels.
So landscape images, similar to the following dimensions, should be optimized for Featured Snippets.
600 x 337
900 x 505
1200 x 674
285 x 160

Why you should focus on Featured Snippets
1. Leapfrog your competition to position 0
2. Gain free organic traffic
3. Answer your customer’s actual questions
4. Earn trust from awareness to decision
1200 x 674

Google 3rd-Party Cookie Deprecation [Update] + 5 Best Strategies

Search Engine Journal

In the face of the news of Google beginning to remove cookies from Chrome (30m users at the time of writing), there’s no longer time for marketers to throw their hands up and say “I didn’t know” or “They won’t go through with it”. Reality check - it has already begun - the time to take action is now. The good news is that there are solutions available and ready for adoption… but for many the race to catch up to the modern internet risks being a messy, confusing scramble to get back to "normal"

Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits. To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups. Technology For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did. While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis. Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad. Age and Gender When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same. Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers. Race Affects Attitudes As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
