And just like the other revisions made by Google, webmasters might hate this addition too. Now, they would need to consider yet another element to their SEO strategy in addition to the current horde of strenuous and complicated search result snippets that they’re working on. The feature will significantly impact those that run a forum-related and answer sites and will negatively affect their site traffic as Google is labeling the best answer in the carousel and sometimes shows the actual answer to the question. The reply to a particular query is fully seen on the carousel and therefore making it a substantial concern to site owners. Searchers don’t need to click and open a site after they search for a specific answer because it is already given in the answer carousels. However, the snippet is in its testing stage yet, so it’s too early for webmasters to worry. But whatever it brings, everybody needs to be ready for adjusting and responding to the changes. There will be more in the coming months and years for sure. Thus, it is essential for webmasters and SEO experts to have a full commitment to coping to this never-ending evolution. People on Twitter were intrigued and excited about the current change in the way search result page appears. Here’s a screenshot of Glenn Gabe’s Tweet:
