6. Take the Actions that Matter
What Makes Your Search Engine Result Stand Out?
What Attracts your Customers?
Great Reviews – sometimes, but rarely in the Google SERPS. Does
show in the Knowledge graph
Upcoming Events – Great snippet that shows up in the results
Videos – Occasionally video markup will result in a rich snippet, but
not as often as in the past
Recipes – Still do VERY well in SERPS – and other sites. Pinterest for
example.

8. Speaking of Actions
Site Search in SERPS rolled out in Early September
Pros:
Fairly Easy for a Novice to Configure
Forces more sites to add site search, which
they should already have.
Allows you to refine your potential customer’s
query right in Google
Your Competitors might not be doing it
Cons:
Your competitors are already doing it
