        "text": "To win “how to” queries on Google Assistant, you need clear step-by-step content with a concise summary at the top, ideally marked up with HowTo schema. Assistant often pulls either the overview or the key steps.\n\nPeople using voice for “how to” want quick guidance, not a full textbook, so clarity and scannability are more important than depth.\n\nKey factors:\n- Start with a short summary stating what the user will achieve.\n- Break steps into a numbered list with simple, imperative language.\n- Use HowTo schema that matches the visible steps.\n- Include common pitfalls or safety notes where relevant.\n\nPractically, take your existing how-to guides and reformat them: add a 40–60 word overview, then clean, numbered steps. Validate your schema and make sure it describes the same sequence.\n\nThis makes your content a strong candidate when Google Assistant needs to quickly walk someone through a task.",
