Can images with a company logo get included on featured snippets?
-
I haven't seen this much but wondered what do you think?
-
This is also relevant to knowledge-graph boxes and the images which Google compiles into those. Not quite the same thing as the featured snippets but still pretty neat
Typically it's a good one for industrial materials or chemical compounds, e.g:
https://www.google.com/search?q=Poly%28methyl+2-methylpropenoate%29
https://d.pr/i/lQLl1v.png (screenshot)
or
https://www.google.com/search?q=polyethylene
https://d.pr/i/HwWXoc.png (screenshot)
... there are lots of 'material' based knowledge graph entries, which pull images from other sites in, in order to build up a good view of what the material is. Some people actually find the images from their sites which Google injects, and edit them to use a small and unobtrusive watermark (the trick is not to get too greedy, or Google notices and replaces the image from your site with an image from another site!)
Obviously where branded products and compounds / materials converge, it's easier to get some branding showing in the tiny little images:
https://www.google.com/search?q=cbd+oil
https://d.pr/i/jLn5uQ.png (screenshot)
A lot of these actually come through Google's image search results
You don't see so many successful injections in this particular area, these days though
This one is quite a neat example:

... bit of free advertising for BirdsEye and Green Giant there

We use a copyright mark and our domain name in a light gray font, positioned in the bottom corner of most images. The copyright mark and domain are scaled to be readable after Google shrinks/crops them down to the large featured snippet image size. These large featured snippet images are usually about 200x150, so we do some testing to be sure that the font size used and the placement will be legible and not cropped off.

How to get visibility in Google Discover?
Hey everyone, I run a website that publish articles about pets. I have read some great things about Google Discover and the potential traffic it can bring to publishers (Condé Nast reported up to 20% of traffic coming from Discover in the US, at a certain point). I am currently trying to get indexed and after reading Google guidelines and a Ahrefs guide, I have made many optimizations to my site: structured data, creating an author page, fixing image size and publishing date... so far, it's not working. I feel the lack of a knowledge graph for my business may affect my chances. I'm currently building a GMB page to fix this. Do you have other recommendations or success stories of your own experiments with Discover? An example of an article I tried to get indexed was https://www.lebernard.ca/teletravail-chien-guide-survie/. Obviously, I'm not expecting feedback on the quality of the content since it's in French, but I'm curious if you see anything from a technical perspective that doesn't work. Thanks a lot for your help! Charles

Getting Authority Social Blogs to Index
We have a few authority blogs that I manage to help increase our brand awareness and build power to our website. We have Blogspot, Wordpress, Tumblr & Typepad. Our content get's a summary syndicated to our authority blogs with an attribution link back to the original post. I also manually check them one a month to make sure it looks good and the content syndicated correctly. I even add unique content to these blogs once in awhile. I recently realized that the majority of the pages are not indexing. I added the blogs to our GSC & Bing webmasters and submitted the sitemaps. This was done on December 11th, as of now some pages indexed in Google and Bing says the sitemaps are still pending... Blogspot - 32/100 pages indexed Wordpress - 34/81 pages indexed Tumblr - 4/223 pages indexed Typepad - 3/63 pages indexed Can anyone help me figure out why I can't get Google to index more pages or Bing to process the sitemaps timely?

Benefit of getting more then one link from a site?
Hi Guys, Is there any benefit (purely for SEO - link building) to getting more than one link from a domain if you already have 1? From my understanding, even if you had 100 links from a domain, that really counts as 1 for link authority. So from this, i don't see much point in getting more then 1 link. Is this a right assumption? Cheers.

Hi, i have a couple fashion clients who have very active blogs and post lots of fashion content and images. Like 50+ images weekly. I want to check if these images have been used by other sources in bulk, are there any good reverse image search tools which can do this? Or any recommended ways to efficiently do this for a large number of images? Cheers

International SEO, Ecommerce & Rich Snippets
I have an Australian Ecommerce site. I also sell to NZ and USA . As part of the user experience it will detect where you are and change the currency accordingly. so when google crawls - the currency will always be USD I guess ( because it is a US IP address ). My question - how can I embed ecommerce microdata that will show the correct currency / price to the correct country in SERPS ?

Can Forum Signature Links be a positive thing?
Hello, I'm a relatively active member for a website support forum for the Genesis Framework - studiopress.com/forums. Right now I have a plain text signature, but I am thinking about linking to my website (a WordPress Development Firm) with branded anchor text. I understand the risk of Penguin for non-branded, keyword-heavy anchor text -- but If I do this with simply a link to my website's homepage or Genesis development page, do you think i'd be at risk? Thanks Zach
