This system allows individual passages or chunks within a page to rank independently for specific queries, even if the rest of the page isn't highly ranked. It reflects Google's shift toward fine-grained semantic understanding.
How Jason Barnard uses Passage Ranking definition
We design content with clear semantic sections and strong headings, ensuring each passage can stand on its own and give Google a better chance to rank individual segments.
