How to get featured snippets using Google Docs

This is how to get featured Snippets in Google using Google Docs predictive text and ChatGPT!

Want to get to the top of Google search results? Then you need to learn how to optimise your content and target featured snippets. It’s easy!

Today, I’m sharing a free Google Docs trick that uses Google’s predictive typing feature to help you climb those rankings and get the rich snippet.

This is how to use Google’s predictive typing to create content that directly answers user queries—the secret sauce for claiming position zero.

I’ll show you a step-by-step process for using a bookmarklet to extract the best keywords from search queries that your competitors have used. This will help you rewrite content and make it more relevant to what users are actually looking for, positioning your site as the authority!

Want more tips on snagging those featured snippets? By identifying the featured snippet formats that best suit your content, you can tailor your content structure accordingly, boosting your chances of showing up as a featured snippet.

Check out how I nabbed the No. 1 spot on Google for “types of graphs”, secured a featured snippet for the blog and drove a massive traffic for my client.

The best part? Just optimise one paragraph for featured snippets. No need to rewrite entire articles.

Follow these Google Docs hacks and featured snippet tips, and you’ll be on the fast track to enhancing your content and driving more traffic to your site. Thanks for tuning in!

Stay ahead of the competition with SEO Notebook, my weekly strategy email list where I share not only my own strategies and insights but also the best practices of others in the SEO industry.

Here’s the best way to use the script:

Boom, all bolded keyword synonyms are copied to your clipboard.

4) Paste those into a Google doc. or a Gmail compose window.

5) Start writing the snippet and let Google guide you. Try to let Google complete as much of the snippet as you can.

The idea is that if a sentence makes good semantic sense to Google, it makes sense for Google to rank it in the featured snippet!

Additional Tips for writing the snippet:

Repeat back the query, e.g. "how can you get featured snippets" answer: "you can get featured snippets by..."

Here’s the code for the bookmarklet:


javascript:(function() {
var emTags =
var emWords = '';
for (var i = 0; i < emTags.length; i++) {
emWords += emTags[i].textContent + '\n';
}
if (emWords !== '') {
var tempInput =
tempInput.value = emWords.trim();

tempInput.select();
document.execCommand('copy');

alert('Copied the text:\n\n' + emWords.trim());
} else {
alert('No <em> tags found on this page.');
}
})();

Hey Steve, another great material from you! Such a brilliant. One thing - the script is no longer available. Can you share it here, please?

[ChristianSlagter]

Great trick Steve, do you know if this also works in other languages?

[raymondwerner]

Thanks steve for sharing. Any idea why with "Types of Graphs" the real types of graphs are not bold, but only the words; types and graphs and the synonyms.

[pshhknel]

How do you go from exporting the bold terms using the bookmarklet, to plugging them into the other sheet that strips those terms (referenced around 0:35). Thanks so much, this is great stuff! Just missing this step.

do i need have Gsuite for google docs smart type to activate?

[proactiveonlinemarketing]

Hey Steve. Great stuff as always! Thanks so much for all of the value that you provide.

I created the bookmarklet, and noticed that I am getting a very small amount of words when I use it. I tried it with the query "types of graphs" to compare to what you were getting in the video, and only got 11 words and phrases vs the amount that you pulled out of the page. Am I missing something?

Just subscribed!!!
I have a quick question if a website or blog post is on 2nd, 3rd, 4th page of Google then snippets fro! These post can be shown as zero position??
Or it's important to vae position on first page and then do some optimization for feature snippets??

[iUmarFarooqi]

I'm trying to write but it's not autocompleting for me.

[jrdnbshp]

Beautiful, Steve. How much time passed between the before and after?

[karloncolmenares]

hi bro!! great job!.. the script it´s out from github website ;(

[marcussatherstrom]

I like the idea, but it looks like you always have to write the first letter for google to "understand" what you want to write? Or am I wrong? :)

[brittabam]

could you share your bold bookmarklet?

[samiulhaq]

can I win a feature snippets?? If I'm not on first page of Google??

[samiulhaq]

Why Google some time shows videos as snippets??
