How to remove "Results 1 - 20 of 47" from Google SERP Snippet
-
We are trying to optimise our SERP snippet in Google to increase CTR, but we have this horrid "Results 1 - 20 of 47" in the description.
We feel this gets in the way of the message and so wish to remove it, but how??
Any ideas apart from removing the paging from the page?
-
I think that's the way to go, my brain on a Friday isn't coming up with anything else!
I will experiment and see what works and report back.

Well you could experiment by replacing the structure of the results:
Instead of: 1 - 12 of 236 products
Try: Viewing 1 - 12 of a possible 236 products
Maybe the long version will throw Google off
-
Yes, exactly my thinking or along those lines.
Trying to think of a way of getting rid, without having to change the website for the worse.
-
This result does seem to fool us into thinking it is a rich snippet, however, I think it is one generated by Google and not manually. My guess is that Google has a robot that looks for the "of" with a numerical prefix and suffix and automatically generates a snippet for it.
-
Take a look at this
-
So the Results 1-15 is not in the description then, it is in the rich snippet section. How about posting a small screenshot of the SERP and I will be able to find which rich snippet you need to kill.
-
I think the problem is that Google is detecting text on the page and then converting this into a special grey prefix on the SERP snippet description.
E.g the client has "Showing 1 - 15 of 87 results for 'xxx' " on their page. And they'll want to keep that... but we don't want Google magically detecting that and turning it into the prefix.
-
It's using the meta description, but adding the "Results 1 - 20 of 47" in front of it. It's a automated thing Google does and the text doesn't exist on the website anywhere.
You'll often see it on Amazon results also.
So that's not the answer.
Try Googling "amazon nike trainers" and hopefully you'll see what I mean.
-
By simply writing a unique description on the pages that have the "Results 1-20" should fix that as Google will display your description as the snippet. If the description feed is blank then Google will either pull the first 160 chars it sees from your page and use that as the description, or Google will find a relevant match of page content according to your search query.

Google indexed "Lorem Ipsum" content on an unfinished website
Hi guys. So I recently created a new WordPress site and started developing the homepage. I completely forgot to disallow robots to prevent Google from indexing it and the homepage of my site got quickly indexed with all the Lorem ipsum and some plagiarized content from sites of my competitors. What do I do now? I’m afraid that this might spoil my SEO strategy and devalue my site in the eyes of Google from the very beginning. Should I ask Google to remove the homepage using the removal tool in Google Webmaster Tools and ask it to recrawl the page after adding the unique content? Thank you so much for your replies.

How to Rank for "Interesting Finds" on Google Mobile?
Hi! Some of the sites I work with, when doing searches for their top terms, I am seeing some articles listed under "Interesting Finds". I have read some people thought it deals with AMP, others do not. Some thing it has to do with the structured data added to the page, some do not. Does anyone have a definitive answer on how to increase your chances of being listed here? Any example is attached. Any ideas? Uoi4Jyh

SEO agency makes "hard to believe" claims
Hi I operate in a highly competitive niche of "sell house fast" in UK. Sites that are in top 1-3 tend to have thousands of links. Some of these are spammy type links. These sites have Domain Authority too. My site has good content http://propertysaviour.co.uk and is listed with around 12 well known directories. I have been building back-links manually over the last 3-4 months. The SEO agency we are looking to work with are claiming they can get my website to first page with above keyword. How would you go about this strategy? What questions would you ask SEO agency? What elements can do I myself? By the way, I am good at producing content!

Best way to remove full demo (staging server) website from Google index
I've recently taken over an in-house role at a property auction company, they have a main site on the top-level domain (TLD) and 400+ agency sub domains! company.com agency1.company.com agency2.company.com... I recently found that the web development team have a demo domain per site, which is found on a subdomain of the original domain - mirroring the site. The problem is that they have all been found and indexed by Google: demo.company.com demo.agency1.company.com demo.agency2.company.com... Obviously this is a problem as it is duplicate content and so on, so my question is... what is the best way to remove the demo domain / sub domains from Google's index? We are taking action to add a noindex tag into the header (of all pages) on the individual domains but this isn't going to get it removed any time soon! Or is it? I was also going to add a robots.txt file into the root of each domain, just as a precaution! Within this file I had intended to disallow all. The final course of action (which I'm holding off in the hope someone comes up with a better solution) is to add each demo domain / sub domain into Google Webmaster and remove the URLs individually. Or would it be better to go down the canonical route?

Is it possible for a multi doctor practice to have the practice's picture displayed in Google's SERP?
Google now includes pictures of authors in the results of the pages. Therefore, a single practice doctor can include her picture into Google's SERP (http://markup.io/v/dqpyajgz7jkd). How can a multi doctor practice display the practice's picture as opposed to a single doctor? A search for Plastic Surgery Chicago displayed this (query: plastic surgery Chicago) http://markup.io/v/bx3f28ynh4w5. I found one example of a search result showing a picture of both doctors for a multi doctor practice (query: houston texas plastic surgeon). http://markup.io/v/t20gfazxfa6h
