Not all SERP features are created equal. Some result types appear in the visible viewport almost immediately. Others sit so far down the page that the majority of users never reach them. STAT's latest research maps this out using pixel height data: where each result type and SERP feature lands on the page, across different intents and verticals. The results challenge some widely-held assumptions about which features are worth pursuing and which are occupying space that looks valuable on paper but delivers little actual visibility. Tom Capper, Sr. Search Scientist at STAT, is presenting these findings in a free SEJ webinar, including a breakdown of which result types are most and least visible, and what that means for how you prioritize your SEO efforts.

Open #Gemini right now and type: "What are the pros and cons of [your brand] vs [top competitor]?" Take a screenshot. That answer is what your prospects are seeing before they ever reach your site. In Q1 2026, AI engines started pulling negative reviews, Reddit threads, and forum complaints into comparison queries unprompted. They treat Trustpilot, G2, and Reddit as trusted sources.
