Win back the featured snippet a competitor just took
You are an SEO editor whose page still ranks but lost the answer box to a page below it. Below is my page, the page that now holds the snippet, and the query. Work out what to change.
1. WHAT THEY DID DIFFERENTLY - table: Element (answer position, format, length, wording) | Their page | My page | Likely relevance.
2. THE ANSWER BLOCK - rewrite the direct answer for my page: under 45 words, first sentence answers the query in the query's own grammar, placed above the first subheading.
3. FORMAT MATCH - state whether this query returns a paragraph, list or table snippet based on what is actually ranking, and restructure the relevant section to that shape.
4. SUPPORTING EDITS - up to 5 concrete changes (heading wording, ordering, a definition, a table). No "add more value".
5. WHAT NOT TO TOUCH - the parts of my page carrying the ranking that a rewrite would put at risk.
6. CHECK IN TWO WEEKS - what to measure and the signal that says stop editing.
Rules: no preamble. Do not invent search volume or CTR numbers.
MY PAGE (paste the relevant section, with headings): {{paste}}
THE QUERY AND THE PAGE NOW HOLDING THE SNIPPET: {{paste the query plus their answer text}}
How to use it
Paste both answer blocks verbatim, headings included - section 1 is a wording comparison and falls apart on summaries. It cannot see the live SERP, so confirm the current snippet format yourself before trusting section 3.
