Google What People Are Saying Expandable Carousels

We've seen various flavors of the what people are saying sections in the search results before including short videos. We've even see Google use AI to return results within them. But it seems this expandable carousel format is live in the mobile Google search results now.

Both Sachin Patel on X and Vijay Chauhan on X prompted me to check if this new expandable carousel format of What People Are Saying is live and it seems so.

Here is a screenshot from my phone showing this feature:

Here are some videos of this in action from them:

@rustybrick, can you replicate this new testing in U.S. mobile search results?

I've noticed it is showing up for lots of related queries now, so it looks like Google might've rolled it out last week.#SEO #Google https://t.co/3vNyfQOZ9z pic.twitter.com/KiKop9qivs

I am not sure how much I like this or not...

Forum discussion at X and X.

Update: Desktop version too:

Google is now showing the grouped together favicons experiment for the 'what people are saying' carousel on desktop

They first started experimenting with this treatment for sponsored ads on mobile in July.

This experiment is designed to make other features fit more seamlessly… pic.twitter.com/mzjwgQ64fT
