I have reasons to believe featured image matters as well.
My blog content titled Startup ideas vs Problems was the featured snippet when the search term is 'Startup ideas vs Problems' until recently as the current featured snippet features another website with a featured image within the blog post(mine is text only).
Although my blog is still the first result, but google now suggests 'Did you mean: Startup ideas and Problems' which buries my blog post effectively killing my traffic.
