AuthorityLabs Result Types Key

AuthorityLabs is a rank tracking tool used for a number of our national clients. This tool tells us the position your site appears for various pre-selected keywords on the Google results page.

AuthorityLabs uses icons to represent the various result types that appear on the Google results page for each keyword we’re tracking for your site.

Below is a list of the different icons and the result types they represent.

NOTE: The icons represent the SERP features returned in the top 120 organic results. This does NOT necessarily mean your domain was one of these result types.
