Say hello to enhanced search analysis! We’ve just added Google’s Compare Sites feature to the DataForSEO’s SERP API Advanced responses.
The Compare Sites feature allows users to review an interactive carousel of sites that provide comparison articles containing the searched item(s). This feature mainly appears for hotel searches, but you may also spot it for other types of queries, such as “books for sale” or “cars for sale.”
In DataForSEO SERP API responses, each website from the compare_sites feature is returned as a structured item – compare_sites_element. Each such item contains a title, image URL, domain and source URL information.
Here’s an example:
{
"type": "compare_sites",
"rank_group": 1,
"rank_absolute": 2,
"position": "left",
"xpath": "/html[1]/body[1]/div[4]/div[1]/div[13]/div[1]/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]",
