        "text": "If you’ve had a bad experience with an SEO vendor, treat featured-snippet optimization as a transparent, measurable program rather than a black box.\n\nMost of the work can be documented as specific content and schema changes you can review yourself.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Require clear before/after examples of Q&A structures on target pages\n- Insist on access to Search Console and analytics to see real results\n- Use small pilots (5–10 pages) to prove value before scaling\n- Avoid vague promises; focus on specific queries and snippet formats\n\nWhether you do this in-house or with a new partner, define success upfront: which questions you want to own, how answers will be written, and what metrics you’ll watch. Review copy as if you’re the end user.\n\nA structured, evidence-based approach prevents the “trust me” problems that caused issues before.",
