How to get bullet snippets SERPs
-
http://insidesearch.blogspot.com/2011/08/new-snippets-for-list-pages.html
I read this post and have been seeing a lot of results with this feature, but can't figure out exactly why some results get them and others dont.
of the results I've seen, many have information in lists or tables (as the article suggests), but some simply have their information listed in separate divs.
Does anyone have any further insight on this? The above article is the only one I can find on the subject.

It seems as though you're referring to sitelinks. I'm referring to one link with bullet points, all from the same page.

This is a tough question because (everyone, feel free to correct me here if I'm wrong) Google does not directlly tell us how to influence those links. However, I have observed the following patterns.
#1 Branded searches tend to lead to "bulleted snippets"
#2 From what I remember, their patent talked (vaguely) about how users can influence those links. The more people visit a page on your website the more likely it is for that page to show up in serps. You can influence this by leading people to the pages you want displayed in serps. UI and Site Navigation can play heavily into influencing those serps.
#3 Google will display internal pages, or bulleted snippets, if it thinks those pages are relevant to a users search. If you search for my brand, you will see pages that tell a searcher everything they need to know about Nerds On Call.
#4 Google will only display these internal pages for the first result.
Here is a link to that patent. http://bit.ly/nRBa8L

Hotel SEO, 3-pack & Search Console: How to get the right data and how to improve CTR?
Hey guys, I've been working with some hotels and I feel like there are some specific issues which need special solutions.
Algorithm Updates | | Maggiathor
Maybe some of you also work for hotels and face similar problems. Question 1: Google "forces" 3-packs impressions to OTAs like booking.com via Hotel Ads. You basically have a big blue "book now" button and a small little website button. This ends up basically leading to CTRs below 1% despite a 1-3 Position. Is there any way to improve the organic CTR? Of course we use hotel ads, but they offer bad analytics AND we basically pay for our SEO-Performance. Question 2: Search console doesn't specify wether or not a impression comes from 3-Pack or the rest of the organic results, which basically leads to a average position which says nothing. It's hard to evaluate the performance of meta-titles and texts, because the ctr is also mixed. What would be a better way to get this data or do you think google will change this in some time (new search console doesn't offer this). Question 3: Hotel Rankings are dominated by OTAs, Meta-Searchers and BIg Chains. Has anyone experience in SEO for smaller, family owned Hotels? Any tricks how to get a steady traffic source outside of brand results? Hope there are some travel experts in here 🙂0 -
Mobile SERPs
Morning Mozzers, Please can someone tell me if Mobile SERPs are different to desktop? Do they have a separate algorithm? Mobile makes up 50% of my sites traffic and I want to make sure I am visible on all devices. Any articles welcomed. Kind regards Ben, London

Getting listed in the Google local result - help!
Good day, I'm really struggling to get a client to appear in the Google Local map snapshot (on the right of the SERPs), even when their company name is Googled. I've tried everything including getting the main Google Local account verified, had some reviews put up, all the required and relevant info has been completed, yet their location and the map never appear. Any help out there as to how I can remedy this? Thanks

Have name.org want to get name.com should .com redirect to .org or other way around?
Its a non profit organization. With name.org acquired in 2006. name.com will be acquired soon. In SEO terms it would make sense for me just to get .com and redirect to the original .org but from the standpoint of 7 year history of name.org is it worth keeping or its irrelevant or not that important or really important. I am in the process of rebuilding the site other than the initial domain home links to other pages do not matter at the moment. Thanks Mozzies

How did a competitor's brand name get in google's related search list?
When doing a google search for the term "ulster county real estate" the related search list at the bottom of the serp includes 7 obviously related search terms and 1 brand name of a competitor. (see attachment) The competitor doesn't rank for this term organically at all yet he enjoys a link on the first page with those of us that do by being in the related search list? I don't get it. Anyone know how something like this happens? Innhs.png
