"According to a blog post from Google, more control over ads in Google Search is starting to roll out. The change effectively makes sponsored results stand out as injected content, rather than organically derived results. Each paid-for result will be grouped into one section labeled "Sponsored." Google says the label is larger than before, so it's easier to see and recognize."
"The bottom of the Google Search section - which will contain no more than four ads in any given search - will have an evident "hide sponsored results" button. The button will collapse the labeled section and hide the sponsored links from view. What users are left with is a set of SEO-driven links and AI."
"The blog post notes that AI Overviews will remain a large part of Google Search as the new sponsored section and hide button rolls out. They will appear above or below the sponsored section in the same way they've appeared for some time. The new button will give users the ability to collapse at least one of these features for a better experience."
Google Search groups paid results into a single, clearly labeled "Sponsored" section with a larger label to distinguish ads from organic results. The sponsored section will include no more than four ads per search and features a prominent "hide sponsored results" button that collapses and hides the sponsored links, leaving SEO-driven links and AI content. AI Overviews will continue to appear above or below the sponsored section. The update affects all ads, including shopping ads, and is rolling out globally on desktop and mobile.
