    The new pros and cons feature on the Google SERP
    Theyre taking information from webpages to tell users what the page contextually means. Google can summarize the pros and cons of a product and put it on the Google SERP.

    Advancements in Googles artificial intelligence and its effect on rankings
    While Googles AI is now producing more subjective searches, it wont affect the way things rank. Instead, whats affected is the way things are displayed on the SERP.
  • 08:17
    How the new SERP feature could impact clickthrough rates
    Google is taking a portion of articles and producing statements they believe are most relevant about it. This could provide a lift to that ranking and change the way people click on different rank positions.

Quotes

  • "A page might be a full page review about the pros and cons of a particular product. And they'll literally summarize those pros and cons in a statement and put it on the Google SERP." -Jordan Koene, CEO, PreVisible

  • "Google is doing a lot around lists. The keyword query could be something like best baseball bats, and what Google will say is, I have a list here on this page, view this list and this is what's in this list." -Jordan Koene, CEO, PreVisible

  • "Google is taking material from the page, synthesizing it, and telling you precisely what this page contextually means. It's a list of pros and con review, a recipe, etc. And that's fascinating." -Jordan Koene, CEO, PreVisible

  • "Autotrader has a page, and Google has been showing a pros and cons statement which doesnt exist. They're literally synthesizing their point of view on what this particular review article contains." -Jordan Koene, CEO, PreVisible

  • "If Google is saying, this is what this is about, it could provide a massive favor to the ranking and change the way people click on different rank positions, based on whether or not this SERP feature exists." -Jordan Koene, CEO, PreVisible

  • "There's benefit to utilizing schema to show lists and your review data. The crazy thing is I've seen this show up in rank position 30 and I've seen this show up in rank position one." -Jordan Koene, CEO, PreVisible
