The Process Getting Google 'Jump-To' Snippets

Hi

I know that this isn't a straightforward process and Google selects and implements these snippets on its own, but I have come across certain methods to structure articles in order make it easier for Google to aggregate and classify your data,

1) I have installed a plugin named "Table of Contents Plus" and now it shows a TOC in each of my blog posts and links to each header (<h1>, <h2>, <h3>...) as a separate section for easier navigation.

2) According to the plugin developer, this should also help Google generate 'Jump-To' snippets for your search listings.

3) Google Webmasters Blog has an article on this topic - https://webmasters.googleblog.com/20...-identify.html in which they recommend that each section of the blog post have an associated anchor with a descriptive name.

4) When I check my site I don't see any such anchors in the TOC links or the subsection headers of my articles, so I'm not sure what I need to do next to further increase my chances of getting the 'Jump-To Snippets'.

Please do let me know if any of you here have any experience or knowledge regarding this topic.

Regards

    It's pretty straightforward.

    You create a jump ID in the HTML and add a location you want to jump down the webpage. Here's an example, I can jump to any section on this Wikipedia page (below).


    • hxxps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billiard_table#Parts_and_equipment
    • hxxps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billiard_table#Carom_billiards_tables
    • hxxps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billiard_table#Pool_tables










    Keep in mind you're only allowed a certain amount of real estate for the jump links to be displayed on Google SERPs, so, a webpage with 3 or 4 jump links stands a better chance of 100% of your jump links showing in the SERPs compared to a webpage with say 20 jump links, in that case Google will search for relevancy in order to select the 3 - 4 jump links you're allowed per search listing.

    My point is, you still have some control over the jump links being displayed on Google SERPs, assuming they're relevant to the content. Minimize Google selection on your webpage (3 - 4 jump links).
