Hello Friends,

What is Google’s Rich Answer Box?

[Barbara]

When searching for a term or asking a question on Google, you receive not only a list of search results but also an informational box at the top of the page that displays a quick answer to your question or a description of your search that is called Google’s Rich Answer Box.

Rich answers are also called featured snippets, which is what I will refer to them as. Featured snippets are displayed at the top of your search results page before the list of search results. They will usually include a summarized answer to what you searched for from a specific website. These websites are, what Google's algorithm considers, the most relevant answer to what you searched for. While these snippets are not shown for every single search, they certainly appear in many searches.
