        "text": "The biggest risk is not penalties but **missed opportunities**: poorly designed snippets can confuse users, hurt click-throughs, or send the wrong message when read aloud.\n\nVoice assistants will literally speak whatever you’ve written, including awkward or outdated phrasing.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Overly salesy or vague answers can sound untrustworthy when spoken\n- Outdated numbers or policies may spread via snippets long after changes\n- Ambiguous wording can misrepresent your offer or processes\n- Poor formatting might cause assistants to truncate important details\n\nMitigate risk by reviewing snippet-targeted text as if it will be read out loud, keeping it factual, clear, and time-stamped where relevant. Refresh high-impact answers regularly.\n\nTreat voice snippets as public statements, not just SEO copy, to protect your brand.",
