As the Google SERP continues to evolve at a rapid pace we undertook a sweeping analysis of the features found on it. The goal was to present a comprehensive understanding of how Google currently relates to the SERP and how it uses its SERP features to effectuate that relationship. To do this, we evaluated the Google SERP from multiple vantage points. Among them:

  • SERP features behavior on desktop relative to mobile
  • The volatility and stability of SERP feature display levels
  • Google's tendencies when pairing specific SERP features together
  • Niche-specific Featured Snippet behavior
  • Google's treatment of URLs within the Featured Snippet
