News from the world of SEO – July 2020

Post by Habib01 »

What's new at Google
Google Web Stories and WordPress plugin
The Stories format is coming to Google's SERP after Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube (or add others), under the name Web Stories. Stories work on both phones and desktops and are especially suitable for current information and news. Google has also released a plugin for WordPress that makes it easy to create Stories.


You can then test the page in the AMP Test tool and the difference should also be obvious in Google Search Console .

Google is testing preview images in SERPs
Article preview images were included in search results as part of testing, both in panama phone number data regular results and in search suggestions when typing a query into the search field.

Bold headlines for the first positions
Another visual change is testing bold headlines for the first results on the page, including ads. The entire headline is bold, not just the search phrase.
