Google seems to be showing fewer FAQ snippets for many sites starting on April 5th. Over the holidays, I received several questions about this but didn’t have time to write it up until now. But while the tracking tools show no decline in FAQ snippets, many SEOs report drops in FAQ snippets for some sites […]
Similar to what we reported about with Google a few months ago, with Google testing a map within a search snippet for a specific company. It seems like Microsoft Bing is testing the same thing, well, it depends on how you search for the company. Khushal Bherwani notified me of this on Twitter and I […]
Google is testing placing the map of the business you searched for in the search results area under the snippet(s) for that listing. Google is also testing a slightly updated local panel on the right side. While I believe I covered both these before, I cannot find my coverage (thanks Google Search…). That being said, […]
Google launched new features in search, one where Google is using MUM to give featured snippets a consensus – it’s pretty cool.

Google’s John Mueller was asked if there was a way to better control the images that Google displays in web search results for product results. The answer isn’t really, there’s no schema or structured data to help you control or define it for Google, John said. He said Google simply decides for itself whether or […]
Google Maps, the map interface, is testing displaying review snippets, short selected reviews, directly under the name of the business or organization in the map interface under the pin. This was spotted by Allie Margeson who said on Twitter “seeing review snippets get some prominence directly on the map and I like it!” Here is […]
Google is testing a new layout for the Key moments video / Suggested clips Featured snippets layout in Google search results. Instead of placing a wider video on top with the text on the bottom, Google places a smaller video on top, but with the text on the right side of the video. Several people […]
