Great advice, great transparency. I think the coolest thing I learned (and that you make clear and what I think many strategists don't make clear) is that SEO involves a lot of testing, retesting and monitoring and that nobody really has 100% knowledge of exactly what works.

Hehe, thanks so much. Appreciate the feedback.

I'm a big fan of inverted pyramid. Not just for grabbing featured snippets but for ranking generally. The broad content at the end of the article is good background for people who read that far, and helps the page cover all bases. While the narrow content at the top of the page is what most visitors want to read right away and google rewards you for that.

Thanks for the video Joshua and congrats on the new baby! 2 out of 4 top featured snippets is not bad at all (3 technically)! Life wisdom: Don't neglect self-care now that you have a a new baby. It is natural to want to give your all to your baby and that is great obviously. Just make sure to also take care of yourself physically and emotionally. It will benefit you and also enhance your ability to care for your new baby and family. Don't hesitate to reach out for help when you need it and make sure to prioritize some time for things that make you happy and help you to relax. Also, make sure to eat healthier instead of less healthy for convenience. That's all I got! Hope it helps! Thanks again!

I dabble in SEO constantly but was unaware of snippets' power for voice responses. With AI assistants like Alexa and Siri, voice search is booming, I see how crucial snippets are to my launching of Wood Shoppe 2.0 and success on KZread and beyond. My goal is to make and sell wood creations from reusable materials. Generating test product images with AI is proving successful. My biggest hurdle? Ahrefs' advanced features, like the one you use to identify vulnerable snippets, are locked behind Sam O's paywall. If I won one of the prizes, I'd offer to let you keep half as payment to generate snippet potentials based on my topical authority mapping for Wood Shoppe 2.0 and the rest to pump back into budding the business. Besides, 24 years ago I became the father of twins. I totally empathize with you. --All the best, Donald J. Claxton -- The Timberlander
