The most important thing is you need to use the long tail search terms within your content that have high search volume but lacks appropriate search results. You need to fill that gap to appear in featured snippets. Your title should include the long tail search terms that have high search volume. These days search engines try to show the exact match therefore, your focus should be on using long tail search term
You're absolutely right, long-tail search terms are crucial for capturing specific user intent, especially when those terms are underserved in current search results. But I would like to know how do you identify long-tail keywords with high search volume but low competition?

The contents should contain direct answers to some questions related to the subject of the content. That answer should be able to stand alone as a paragraph. It should just be between around 100 words. It would appear in snippets most likely.
If you want to optimize for zero-click and featured snippets, answer questions clearly using bullet points or numbered lists. You can improve snippet chances by structuring content with headings and using concise, direct language that matches common search queries.
Definitely yes, the answer is yes. Structuring your content well with clear answers, lists, and tables helps Google show your information in featured snippets, even if people don't click on it. This increases your visibility and authority. Do you understand? So, in short, do it. It will help you rank higher on Google.

If you are optimizing for zero click searches, what benefit do you think you will get. I mean since it is zero click searches, you don't get traffic on your site. In that case what is the point?
