SERP Thumbnail image

Post by goble » Fri May 05, 2023 12:29 pm

Hello,

I have a menu item loading k2 items as per tags. A HTML module appears before the k2 items. I have an image in this module and would like it to be picked up in Google SERP (the image thumbnail which appears next to the meta description). As per Google, you should specify this in the head section.

Any way can I tweak the photo to get the image shown up ?

Here is an example page where it won't show up :

Code: Select all

I did an inspection on the photos from both URL's and it appears you have a fix in place for this. Can you please share as I'm interested in how you implemented?

Cheers!

Hello,

I don't have a fix but it appears that in some cases the hero photo will be picked up by Google SERP.

Here is a K2 page and it will work.

Code: Select all
