The anatomy of a standard search snippet

The anatomy of a standard search snippet

The standard Google search snippet has changed over the years, but in essence all the key elements are still there:

• The clickable title or headline of the snippet (in blue)
• The description of that page (about two lines long)
• The URL path (used to be in green, now it is black)
• On a mobile device, there’s also a tiny logo next to the URL (Google will use your site favicon when deciding which image to show next to your URL.)
