Have you tried using Rank IQ in addition to mimicking page formats of other top ranking pages?

[@TWalker87]

Still very impressive to get 2 featured snippets, and then 3 after a little more time. If you're able to do this 50-75% of the time across a site with lots of potential snippets you'll be raking in the traffic and money in no time.

[@DigitalDarts]

Indeed. Thanks for commenting.

[@ErinHaywood-t8k]

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.

[@DigitalDarts]

Well said!

[@IOFLOOD]

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.

[@DigitalDarts]

Great to hear your thoughts on it.

[@dennisguide]

hey Joshua, just wanted to say thanks so much for putting together this helpful video walking through your beginner SEO technique! Learned a alot 🙌 specifically: 1. How to research keyword opportunities with Featured Snippets on Ahrefs 2. Tips for formatting content to match top-ranking snippets 3. Techniques like tightening language, using inverted pyramid structure, and improving overall page SEO Man, I seriously needed this walkthrough for optimizing blog posts. Gonna put this to work for my site ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DigitalDarts]

I'm so glad you found the video helpful Dennis! It's great to hear that you learned a lot from it. All the best with optimizing your blog posts.

[@dangfutalan]

Can you keep us posted how the optimization impacts your blogs? Thanks so much!

[@MrWackomako]

Congrats on the baby and great content. Thank you!

[@DigitalDarts]

Thanks so much!

[@AlbertNTipster]

Great video, Joshua, and a huge congrats on the new addition to your family! It's fantastic to see you nailing those top featured snippets - truly a remarkable achievement! Just a thought: In this exciting new chapter, remember the joy and inspiration you bring to your family and your audience. Keep shining and spreading that positive energy. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

[@DigitalDarts]

Thanks so much for the kind words and stay tuned for more.

[@GeorgeLewis-qx5gl]

You putting this up for free is actually clutch - praise to you

[@DigitalDarts]

Welcome.

[@DonPepilio]

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!

[@DigitalDarts]

Thank you kindly Don.

[@abdulbasitrana2743]

Wow! Number One on Google. I thought the video title is clickbait like others. Very Good SEO tip

[@DigitalDarts]

Thank you.

[@vincestephens]

Congrats on Baby Eden, and also for getting 3 out of 4 #1s (within a couple of weeks)! Especially, considering that you made it tougher on yourself by skipping the holy grail. That's what I learned, to identify which pages to prioritize by whittling down the existing listings. Thanks for the in-depth info. I get better at SEO every week by consuming and applying the amazing content provided by the Digital Darts crew. You guys are the real deal, and I find myself telling someone about you folks at least just as often. Way to go!

[@DigitalDarts]

Great to hear what you learned, and thank you so much for the kind words Vince.

Hey Joshua, just finished watching and I'm genuinely impressed. I'm excited to apply these techniques and see how they transform my blog's visibility.

Keep up the fantastic work!

May take away from this video is that 1 week may be to short to get the results, second, as you also said, keep trying with this technique since a 75% success rate after 2 weeks is still better and faster than most other SEO techniques.

Thanks for listing those takeaways.

[@donaldjclaxton]

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 KZbin 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

Twin life is next level. Ahrefs may not be worth it for you now, but as you learn and grow, it's incredible.
