Featured Snippet

The Featured Snippet is a short-form answer to a search engine query that is displayed at or near the top of the page. The search engine attempts to respond to the query and present a succinct answer within the search results themselves, before linking to the webpage that the answer came from.

Crafting web content that aims to be showcased in the featured snippet can be a valuable way of generating traffic for your website.

In general, an algorithm is a set of instructions that is assigned a specific analytical task. It most often applies to mathematics and computer science.

For websites and digital marketers, algorithms refer to the many programs designed to analyze and assess either a website, individual digital elements, or user behavior on a site. Based on this data, the algorithm could then be designed to rank a website, list a web element as a search result, or suggest content to a user, such as on Youtube or Facebook.
