SERPs API – support for ‘Articles’

The SERPs API is a backbone product for our business and I’ve always been particularly proud of the way we manage this particular product. Keeping up with Google in this industry is always a challenge, but we’re pretty happy that we’ve managed to keep pace over the years and this month we added support for yet another Google SERPs feature – support for Articles:

These will now be distinguished from Top Stories (labelled “News” in the API) in a SERPs API response:

At the time of writing, I’m only typically seeing this feature appear for US 🇺🇸 results, which isn’t that surprising where Google is concerned, as I’ve often seen a lot of SERPs features rolled out in the US before Google rolls them out to its other supported regions.

We also added support for a couple of new regions – the small Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique.

We're ready for AI Overviews. Are you?

The rollout of AIOs will create unprecedented risks to your hard earned organic traffic, as well as new opportunities to succeed.

You need to be ready.  The only question is, whether you want to be ready now or later?
