AI finding

The passage that answers the page's question sits inside data-nosnippet

AI Warning Severity: Medium

Part of the audit Snippet and reuse controls contradict each other. Finding id: ai.keyAnswerInNosnippet.

What it costs you

Google documents that text inside data-nosnippet is not used as a snippet. If the model is right, the one passage worth quoting is the one that may not be quoted.

What to do

Look at the element that carries data-nosnippet. Move the answer out of it, or narrow the attribute to the part that must stay out of snippets.

What it checks

  • Key answer hidden from quoting

How to fix it

Narrow data-nosnippet to what must stay out

  1. Find the span, div or section with data-nosnippet around the passage.
  2. Move the attribute to an inner element that holds only the text that must not be quoted.
  3. If you disagree with the model, dismiss the finding.

How to check: View the page source: the answer is no longer inside an element with data-nosnippet.

How to verify by hand

A person who reads the page source.

What this relies on

data-nosnippet was put on a block for another reason, such as a legal note, and the answer ended up inside it.
