You're checking the snippet from the wrong location
15:30 UTC — Common reporting error: a team celebrating or panicking over a snippet they checked from one IP, one logged-in session. Reportedly featured snippets vary by location, personalization, and device — your 'lost' box may be alive in another region, or vice versa.

We're hearing personalized SERPs fool more audits than people admit.

The fix — verify snippet status incognito, multiple locations, mobile and desktop, ideally via a rank tracker that samples geos. Don't act on a sample of one.

One SERP is not the SERP. Watching this.
