Sound familiar?
A competitor owns the answer box
Someone else’s page wins the featured snippet or AI Overview for a question you should own.
The answer is buried on page three
A direct answer sits inside a 2,000-word post instead of the first paragraph, where answer engines expect it.
No schema, no context
Missing schema markup means engines have to guess what your page even is before they’ll cite it.
