Questions, answered
Will it edit my posts to add snippet-friendly formatting?
No. It identifies and prioritises the opportunities and creates tasks in Notion - all content edits are made by your team after reviewing each task.
How does it know which content format wins a snippet?
It looks at the current snippet type shown by Semrush - paragraph, list, or table - and suggests the matching format for your content to target.
What if I already hold the snippet for a keyword?
Semrush marks those as 'Featured snippet: You' and they are excluded from the opportunity list, so you only see keywords still up for grabs.
