Can images with a company logo get included on featured snippets?
-
I haven't seen this much but wondered what do you think?

This is also relevant to knowledge-graph boxes and the images which Google compiles into those. Not quite the same thing as the featured snippets but still pretty neat
Typically it's a good one for industrial materials or chemical compounds, e.g:
https://www.google.com/search?q=Poly%28methyl+2-methylpropenoate%29
https://d.pr/i/lQLl1v.png (screenshot)
or
https://www.google.com/search?q=polyethylene
https://d.pr/i/HwWXoc.png (screenshot)
... there are lots of 'material' based knowledge graph entries, which pull images from other sites in, in order to build up a good view of what the material is. Some people actually find the images from their sites which Google injects, and edit them to use a small and unobtrusive watermark (the trick is not to get too greedy, or Google notices and replaces the image from your site with an image from another site!)
Obviously where branded products and compounds / materials converge, it's easier to get some branding showing in the tiny little images:
https://www.google.com/search?q=cbd+oil
https://d.pr/i/jLn5uQ.png (screenshot)
A lot of these actually come through Google's image search results
You don't see so many successful injections in this particular area, these days though
This one is quite a neat example:

... bit of free advertising for BirdsEye and Green Giant there

We use a copyright mark and our domain name in a light gray font, positioned in the bottom corner of most images. The copyright mark and domain are scaled to be readable after Google shrinks/crops them down to the large featured snippet image size. These large featured snippet images are usually about 200x150, so we do some testing to be sure that the font size used and the placement will be legible and not cropped off.

Why does the order of the keywords affect my SERP? And what can I do to improve?
Hi all, So, if you google "london life coach" my site appears #2 (www.nickhatter.com) But if you google "life coach London" my SERP seems to fluctuate between #3 up to #6. If you google "life coach in London" my SERP is a solid #2/3. I don't get it all. Would someone care to explain? Also, if you have any tips on how I might improve the EAT of my website please do feel free to weigh in! Many thanks,

Only a fraction of the sitemap get indexed
I have a large international website. The content is subdivided in 80 countries, with largely the same content all in English. The URL structure is: https://www.baumewatches.com/XX/page (where XX is the country code)

Language annotations hreflang seem to be set up properly In the Google Search Console I registered: https://www.baumewatches.com the 80 instances of https://www.baumewatches.com/XX in order to geo target the directories for each country I have declared a single global sitemap for https://www.baumewatches.com (https://www.baumewatches.com/sitemap_index.xml structured in a hierarchical way) The problem is that the site has been online already for more than 8 months and only 15% of the sitemap URLs have been indexed, with no signs of new indexations in the last 3 months. I cannot think about a solution for this.0 -
Community Discussion: Are You Optimizing Your Brand's Content for Featured Snippets?
My latest post on the Moz Blog, Featured Snippets: A Dead-Simple Tactic for Making, explores how to keep Featured Snippets once you have them. I'm curious to know how many brands are actively working to get in the answer box, and for those who are, what's been the results?

Over 30,000 pages but only 100 get traffic... can I kill the others?
I have a website with over 30,000 pages. But only around 100 are getting traffic from Google/being used by the company. How safe is it for me to kill the other pages? Usually I'd do rel canonical or 301's to scrap as much link juice as I can from them, but at 30,000 we just don't have any place to 301 the pages that makes sense and rel canonical to irrelevant pages seems... wrong? So my hope was to just kill the pages, reuse their content when needed, but pretty much start fresh. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks,

Positions dropping in SERPs after Title and Snippet change
Hi! I switched to a better title and meta description today for our page. Instead of ranking us better and displaying the new title - google let us fall from Position 10 to Position 16 (still dip laying the old title and meta description). Why is that? (I only changed it for the homepage) Cheers Marc
