<b>People Also Ask is a snippet farm — and a leak</b>

Heard from two SEOs that the fastest path to a competitive featured snippet right now runs <i>through</i> People Also Ask, not around it. Win the answer inside a PAA accordion for an adjacent question, and Google reportedly starts trusting you for the parent query's main box.

The leak: PAA also tells you exactly which paragraph format Google wants — expand the accordion, read the cited site's structure, copy the shape (not the words).

Why it matters: stop chasing the head-term box directly. Seed clean 40-word answers for every PAA branch, harvest the easy ones, let authority compound upward. Watching this.
