The “Golden Triangle”

11

• In 2005 the “Golden Triangle” was an area of concentrated gaze activity at the top-left corner of a search results page

• If your listing was not in the “Golden Triangle”, your odds of being seen by a searcher were small

• Red areas are where participants spent the most time looking

New SERP

12

• While the “Google Triangle” still exists during some search scenarios, it isn’t as prevalent

• Top organic results aren’t always in the top-left corner, so users look elsewhere to find them

• Mobile devices have conditioned searchers to scan vertically rather than horizontally
