 * Hello,
 * I would like to offer a featured snippet to Google (for a specific page) to see
   whether it uses it in search results to help boost our organic traffic (which
   has really dropped since the last major Google update in July).
 * Can you tell me whether your plugin supports this and if so how we set this up?
 * Thanks again

   SEO settings under Open Graph Description?

 * Hello!
 * I’m not sure what you mean by “Featured Snippet.” Could you please link to the
   documentation of Google that shows an image of an example result, which helps
   me better understand what you’re trying to achieve? Thank you!
 * To get ahead of things: TSF should be compatible with most structured data plugins.

 * Social settings do not affect search engines. But, you cannot enter HTML or lists
   there — they get compressed to a single line by TSF (and social sites).

 * Hi [@cybr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cybr/)
 * Thanks for the reply. What I mean is when you ask a question in Google you often
   get a result from a website with bullet points. I thought this was a Featured
   Snippet. Here I took a screenshot of an example: [https://ibb.co/HxMPb6W](https://ibb.co/HxMPb6W)
 * I thought in order for Google to consider your site for that you need to add 
   something to the Open Graph description of the page (do correct me if I#M wrong
   🙂
 * Is there any way I can add a summary of a page (or question in this case) in 
   bullet points to the Open Graph Description and would that work?

 * Thanks for explaining!
 * Google automates this feature, and you cannot influence it other than opting 
   out (which is counterproductive and something you cannot do via TSF). See [https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/appearance/featured-snippets](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/appearance/featured-snippets).

 * To learn how Google obtains the information, please see [https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/9351707](https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/9351707).
   It doesn’t use Open Graph.
 * More clear and concise (Scroll To Text is a recent browser feature):

 * You can add a page summary to the page itself (for everyone to see, including
   search engines), which Google might use as a featured snippet. But, of course,
   there is no guarantee.

 * Many thanks [@cybr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cybr/)
 * Yes I should have presumed the Google automates all this and you can do little
   to sway this other than have a good nformative page. Thanks again for your insights
   🙂
