Discussions and Forums

Discussions and Forums

The Discussions and Forums Google SERP feature enriches search results with advice, experiences, and discussions from various forums across the web. For instance, if you’re searching for the best dog breed, alongside traditional web results, Google will show you links to forum posts sharing relevant advice and real experiences.

 

In DataForSEO SERP API responses, each result from the Discussions and Forums feature is returned as a structured item – discussions_and_forums_element.
