Google is running a small experiment that places third-party endorsement content on Search ads. The endorsement content can include content from third-party websites under the ad description, including the site's name, logo, and a short endorsement. A screenshot posted by Sarah Blocksidge on Mastodon shows an endorsement reading "Best for Frequent Travelers" signed by PCMag and displaying the PC Magazine favicon.
