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.

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

If Fetch As Google can render website, it should be appear on SERP ?
Hello everyone and thank you in advance for helping me. I have a Reactjs application which has been made by Create-React-App that is zero configuration. Also I connect it using Axios to the API using Codeigniter(PHP). Before using Reactjs, this website was at the top Google's SERPs for specific keywords. After Using Reactjs and some changes in URLs with no redirection in htaccess or something else, I lost my search engine visibility! I guess it should be caused by Google penalties! I tried using "react-snap", "react-snapshot" and so forth for prerendering but there are so many problem with them. Also I tried using Prerender.io and unfortunately my host provider didn't help me to config the shared host! Finally I found a great article that my website eventually display in Rendering box of Fetch As Google. But still in Fetching box, the dynamic content didn't display. But I can see my entire website in both "This is how Googlebot saw the page" and "This is how a visitor to your website would have seen the page" for all pages without any problem. If Fetch As Google can render the entire of the website, is it possible to index my pages after a while and it would be appear on Google's SERP? mokaab_serp.png

Best Way To Go About Fixing "HTML Improvements"
So I have a site and I was creating dynamic pages for a while, what happened was some of them accidentally had lots of similar meta tags and titles. I then changed up my site but left those duplicate tags for a while, not knowing what had happened. Recently I began my SEO campaign once again and noticed that these errors were there. So i did the following. Removed the pages. Removed directories that had these dynamic pages with the remove tool in google webmasters. Blocked google from scanning those pages with the robots.txt. I have verified that the robots.txt works, the pages are longer in google search...however it still shows up in in the html improvements section after a week. (It has updated a few times). So I decided to remove the robots.txt file and now add 301 redirects. Does anyone have any experience with this and am I going about this the right away? Any additional info is greatly appreciated thanks.
