I am running Rent a car bussines and I am wondering how to setup image for google search... When someone search for Skoda Fabia, I am SEO optimised enough to be shown on the first page of google search, but I also want picture of the car next to the text (on mobile phones). Is there any way to include it on wordpress? Thanks in advance!

Can anyone tell me how Google decides which image to use when it shows an image with the search results (as is the case with mobile search, sometimes)?  If you look at these mobile search results …    … and take the AliExpress.com result as an example, by inspecting  you can see that  used by Google seems to have no special declaration, etc. It is just the first JPG that appears in that page's HTML - so I was thinking maybe that's why it's the image that is used in the Google search results.  However, when you look at these mobile search results …    … and consider the Backpack Billboards result,  reveals that  being used is actually the seventh image declared in the HTML.  So can anyone shed any light on how Google determines which image to be displayed? I would like to know so I can then have control over which image is displayed for my site.  Update / Solution  Thanks to the answers, below, this is the code I have now added to my head HTML in order to get the thumbnail shown in Google when searching for backpack billboards:  &lt;script type="application/ld+json"&gt; {   "@context": "http://schema.org/",   "@type": "Product",   "name": "Regular Backpack Billboard",   "image": [     "https://backpackbillboards.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/backpack-billboards-1x1.jpg",     "https://backpackbillboards.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/backpack-billboards-4x3.jpg",     "https://backpackbillboards.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/backpack-billboards-16x9.jpg"    ],   "description": "Backpack Billboards feature a rechargeable battery which powers the internal LED lights providing a bright illuminated display for up to 8 hours.",   "sku": "BPBB8",   "brand": {     "@type": "Thing",     "name": "Backpack Billboards"   },   "offers": {     "@type": "Offer",     "priceCurrency": "USD",     "price": "299.00",     "priceValidUntil": "2020-11-11",     "itemCondition": "http://schema.org/NewCondition",     "availability": "http://schema.org/InStock",     "seller": {       "@type": "Organization",       "name": "Backpack Billboards"     }   } } &lt;/script&gt;

I am using the Yoast plugin to help with the SEO of my site. I just set everything up and am wondering how long it takes for google to update the information. As you can probably tell already the only knowledge I have is basic CSS.  What I am mainly concerned about is getting my homepage listed with the correct SEO title and meta description. Currently, my homepage is listed but not with the updated SEO title or meta description.  Thanks for the help.

Let's say we have an image exhibition website that has got a lot of images but next to nothing content. The focus keyword for this website is "Artistic wallpapers". What would be the best approach w.r.t SEO for such a website.  Here are a few things I can imagine:   Submitting sitemaps ( image and web ) Having a good pagespeed score. Nice navigation Breadcrumbs sharing the website content on Social media. Having appropriate titles.   Having worked on all these things, what can be done if Search engines are picking wrong keywords ( For example views, votes, ratings) Can anything be done so that Search engines don't track these specific items? Also, is it a good practice to have all the pages submitted to Search engines at once?

Today, I was looking for cars to rent in the states. Therefore I had to use several search engines of different companies.  A better way would be to use a matrix search engine like the ones used for booking flights. I would like to enter a pickup and drop off date and location and then the search engine should query a lot of different companies and list me the price for each alternative. I would also like to see a possibility to select nearby-pickups. For example big cities have several drop off locations, e.g. the airport, the main station, etc. At the moment I have to check every combination.  That's why my question is if there is something like a matrix car rental search engine as we know it from flights.

I have a website setup through WordPress on a custom domain that I control. It is registered in the Google Webmaster Tools, and pages will show up on Google, but not in the order I'd like.  I am working with others in the organization to include links on their websites to this main one to try to help. I have the Yoast SEO plugin installed, and many pages show the green circle, indicating great SEO on the pages. I even have the sitemap loaded to Google.  When I search for the company directly, it's not even on the front page. If I search for the company with no spaces in its name, then it shows up near the bottom of the first page. What can I do to increase its recognition based on its initials, or at least the company name spelled out properly with spaces?

I'm looking for advice about favicons and their impacts on search engines. Recently I noticed a site which changes its favicon every time you load another page without losing overall recognition of the favicon style. I'd like to incorporate this into my site as well but am I taking any SEO risks here?

We are small team which working on car racing game but we don't know about licensing process for branded cars like Nissan, Lamborghini, Chevrolet and etc.   Do we need to buy any licence for using real car brand names, models, logos,... or we can use them for free?  Second option we think about using not real brand with real models is it possible? If someone have experience with that, fell free to share it.  Any information about that is welcome.

The "Post Locked" banner suggests visiting Meta to get more info... even if the post in question is on Meta.  Shouldn't it link to the FAQ instead? Granted, the FAQ does not contain any info on this matter yet. Or should the link be removed completely? After all, the explanation is pretty explanatory. Removing the link would also stop people from coming here asking "Why was my question locked?"  Edit: Yeah, I know... nobody asks that.

How do I best approach common SEO techniques for a website with images as the main content?  The problem here is the content is all image based, so other than Friendly URLS, H1/H2 tags, Sitemap, RSS Feed, Alt Img, what else can be done to gain search rankings?  I realise most search engines (if not all) are text based and text is how they better understand the business and "usefulness" of a site and therefore compare it with other sites, but other than social media and driving constant traffic what is the best thing to do or focus on?

I want to add some piece of data to rich snippets (for example, breadcrumps), but this information is not visible on the page (for example, because the designer has not yet prepared the sketches)  Is there a way to tell search engines to index this data?

Right now as far as I can tell all images have to appear as inline paragraphs, left-aligned with other paragraphs.  For sites like Stack Overflow, it makes sense... images are only used when you want to illustrate something, so the image is sort of like something that they have to stop and "read".    On some of our newer sites, like , images can serve a more decorative function, making questions and answers look awesome and interesting. For example, when somebody asks about trains in Mongolia, an answerer might write an extensive answer and then attach a picture showing them standing in front of a train in Ulan Bator.  For these "decorative" pictures, it makes a lot more sense if they are floated to the right and text wraps around them. Otherwise they interrupt the text and, frankly, look kinda ugly.  I suggest something simple like $[...] instead of ![...].

Is there a way to filter posts by featured image when initialising a WP_Query object?  Example  $my_query = WP_Query(array("has_thumbnail"=&gt;true));   or, more ideally  $my_query = WP_Query(array("has_thumbnail_size"=&gt;"custom_size"));

On the  blog post, nearly all the images are broken. I assume this is because they are all hosted on stackoverflow.blog/wp-content/uploads/ rather than zgab33vy595fw5zq-zippykid.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/, and they got destroyed in the removal of Blog Overflow. I looked around at a few other blog posts, and this post seems to be the only one having an issue.

I don't know much more about SEO, but it's interesting to learn about it. When I tried to search my website with an associated keyword or you can say with the exact name of the domain, I got some suggestions by Google. Here's .  First of all, I don't want to spamming here, I just want prove my question and want to give a hint about what I am talking here. The above link display the Did You Mean, I know the specific reason why Google shows this, but I want to know the Google's guidelines and some guidance by you experts so that if someone search for the particular keyword then Google hide that Did You Mean and display the result.

Some websites show the company name next to the URL (in Chrome) and some don't.  How do I set this up for my website? Is there a reason why or why I wouldn't want to do this?

It would be nice to support showing images in their original size when they where automatically resized because they are too big to fit in a question or answer ().  I envision it just like in blogs or facebook: You can click on the image and it is shown in its original size in an overlay.

So I have just built a site and all is well... but I want to control what appears on google search results.  Lets say I google for "thefwa", first what comes is the link to www.thefwa.com, then underneath is a list of pages on that site with preview and  a link "More results from thefwa.com". How can I tell google to display my chosen content/pages? Do I use robots.txt or sitemap.xml? Because now the pages that are associated with my site are displayed kind of random.  Is it possible to tell google what to display?
