Industry expert Barry Schwartz recently took to Twitter to share his experience with Google’s latest innovation—a revamped Search Generative Experience (SGE). The tech giant granted selected users access to this revolutionary feature, promising more user-friendly search results with expandable answers to queries and easily digestible organic links. With the excitement building around this new development, we took a closer look at the main highlights, examples, and potential implications of Google’s SGE.
Upon being chosen to test out Google’s Search Labs, the lucky few received a welcome email from the search giant. Before diving into the new SGE, users were required to agree to the SGE Privacy Notice, showing the company’s commitment to protecting user privacy even in experimental stages.
In a series of tweets, Barry Schwartz shared queries and screenshots of the new SGE in action. Some of the examples included:
When does Shavuot start? The answer provided was not only accurate but also expandable, allowing users to access more in-depth information without navigating away from the search page. Organic, snackable links were also present, offering further resources on the subject.
Where to get a haircut near me? The local search results highlighted both five-pack and three-pack options, assisting users in finding the most relevant and well-rated hair salons in their area, streamlining their search experience.
Where can I learn about SEO? Users were presented with multiple learning options, tailoring the search experience to their educational preferences.
How-to queries like “how to tie shoes” and “how to change a tire” were met with detailed, expandable answers, saving time and simplifying the learning process.
YMYL (Your Money, Your Life) queries generated AI-powered responses for certain results, combining technology and accuracy to provide reliable information to users.
The mobile interface was also showcased, featuring a sleek and user-friendly design, with accompanying GIFs to cater to a more visually appealing experience.
For more examples and details, readers were directed to Barry Schwartz’s Twitter thread, where he continues to explore the SGE in greater depth.
The new Search Generative Experience promises to revolutionize how users navigate search results, making information more accessible and user-friendly. However, it will be critical for SEO experts and digital marketers to adapt to these changes and find innovative ways to leverage these improved search features.
Some potential drawbacks may include businesses competing for fewer organic links, reduced site traffic as users engage more with expandable answers, and increased reliance on AI for results generation. Balancing these challenges with the undeniable benefits of an enhanced user experience will be key to navigating the new landscape of search results.
The Google Search Generative Experience illustrates the company’s ongoing commitment to improve user experience, streamline search results, and innovate in the ever-evolving world of search. As more tests and screenshots become available, we’ll get an even better understanding of how this new development will impact SEO and digital marketing strategies in the coming years. Until then, we eagerly await further insights from Barry Schwartz and the lucky few who have been granted early access to this exciting innovation.
Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
