Google: Web Pages in Featured Snippets Not Repeated in Organic Listings

Google's Danny Sullivan confirms web pages in a featured snippet position will no longer be repeated in regular page one organic listings.

This is a brand new change rolling out as of today. The change will affect 100% of all search listings worldwide.

If a web page listing is elevated into the featured snippet position, we no longer repeat the listing in the search results. This declutters the results & helps users locate relevant information more easily. Featured snippets count as one of the ten web page listings we show.

Today, 100% globally.

Previously, it was not uncommon to see to see web pages in a featured snippet position appear twice on page one of search results. Going forward, that will no longer be the case.

Now, a page only gets one opportunity to appear on page one. As Sullivan states, featured snippets count as one of the ten web page listings shown on the first page of search results.

According to Pete Meyers of Moz, web pages in a featured snippet position have had their regular organic results pushed back to the top of page 2.

Given that this update just rolled out today, it's unclear how tools such as Search Console will handle the change. Google's John Mueller may provide further details tomorrow (January 23rd).
