What to do with this page 0 s-hit ??

Apart from the page 0 guide (which doesntm't provide practical tips), I found two things incredibly helpful:

1. Rich meta description being picked up by google.

2. Google knowledge graph links.

Now, this isnt 100% concrete. I am not @t0mmy and @Leith who have large agenciesm i only know this from a couple client and a couple personal sites.

The trends I find are:

1. The better the google snip it for meta description the more likely to be '0'.

Google will not always register your desired mets description. But if your meta description is perfectly accurate and picked up by google, you have a better chance of getting featured snippet.

2. Knowledge Graph Links

The most common is wikipedia. I saw a strong trend of knowledge graph links that pointed to the desired page getting the rank zero spot.

3. Images

This is less technical but I have main two trends. One is you almost always have a featured image above snippet. And two, the image does not need to appear on page to appear above the snippet.

What does that mean for SEO? Having an amazing and unique image on your page helps appear above 'zero'.

But the image largely relies upon CTR.

Sorry this isn't more specific. I don't deal with this scenario often so my answer is less 'do it my way' than most of my responses, but since I doubt many others have niches with the featured snippet and managed to rank page one and get the snippet link, I thought my answer would help.

Try to look at google results via a VPN.

For the page zero result, you can absolutely get dirrerent results with different ips

I only have seen a couple (maybe two?) Parasites on zero. All my situation, quora (or parasite) was on page one.

My only other advice in this case is to suppress the competition out of page one.

Or two, is two is to work on CTR, knowledge graph links and add a great image to your page. Infographics are a solid choice to add to your page.
