Google Tests Clickable Links in Search Result Page Includes for Enhanced Navigation
What Are Page Includes in Google Search?
Page includes are snippets within Google search results that display additional related links or search results. These were previously shown without clickable hyperlinks, serving as visual tags or references.
New Clickable Links Feature Being Tested
Google is currently testing making these page includes clickable, allowing users to directly navigate to more search results through these embedded links. This change aims to improve user navigation and search experience.
Historical Context
- Similar page includes appeared in search results in 2017, 2019, and 2021.
- Earlier versions of these tags were non-clickable.
- The current test represents a shift towards more interactive and navigable search snippets.
Examples and Observations
Screenshots shared by SEO expert Sachin Patel highlight the new clickable page includes, including mobile versions, confirming Google’s active experimentation with this feature.
