        "text": "For most sites, expect **weeks to a few months** before you start consistently winning featured snippets, assuming you already rank on page 1 for targeted queries.\n\nIf your content is new or not yet competitive, it can take longer because snippet eligibility usually depends on existing organic strength.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Current rankings: pages need top-10 positions to realistically be considered\n- Crawl and re-index cycles: often 1–4 weeks after major changes\n- Competition: strong incumbents and news sites can delay your entry\n- Consistency: multiple well-structured Q&A sections improve odds over time\n\nPractically, plan a 90-day window: in month one, implement question-based structures and schema; in months two and three, refine based on impressions, rankings, and any early snippet wins. Keep updating content to stay fresher than competitors.\n\nSeeing featured snippets as an ongoing program rather than a one-time project makes the timeline feel realistic and manageable.",
