Added one FAQ block. Stole a featured snippet in 11 days.

Competitor owned the snippet for a fat keyword. Their answer was a sloppy paragraph. I went surgical.

Move:
— Found the exact question Google was pulling the snippet from
— Added an H2 with that question verbatim
— Answered in 42 words, direct, no fluff, then expanded below

That's it. One block, end of an existing post. Re-crawled it.

Day 11 I owned the snippet. That keyword's CTR on my page jumped from 4% to 19%.

Snippets are a format game, not a content game. Go find a weak one and out-format it.
