SERP markup

There are enhancements effecting entire SERP, but not concerning the look of the particular search results. They are divided into:

Knowledge graph: Features connected to knowledge graph data (and also Wikidata)
Answer box: There is a box on the upper part of search results that gives the user straight answer to a query without any need to click on any search result. Currently Marketing Miner distinguishes 14 types of these.

Knowledge panel

Knowledge panel is based on the data from Wikidata. It is usually best seen by known names and queries in which Google can definitely identify the required entity.

Examples of queries:

Featured Snippet

Featured snippet is a box that appears mostly on the upper part of the search results. This box contains the straight answer to a query of a user with a link to the original URL in the bottom right corner. This snippet most commonly occurs with question related queries.

Examples of queries:

Carousel

Carousel doesn’t occur in the search result very commonly, it is a very rare case. But its influence on the look of the search is significant, because it covers the whole upper part of search results with attractive images. On the Czech market, it occurs almost exclusively only in searches regarding movies or movie theaters.
