Google Tests Blue Checkmarks for Verified Search Results
The feature aims to help users identify legitimate businesses and avoid fraudulent websites in search results.
- Google is experimenting with blue verification checkmarks in its search results to help users identify genuine business websites.
- The test includes companies like Microsoft, Meta, Apple, and Amazon, but is not widely available to all users yet.
- Hovering over the checkmark provides a message indicating that Google's signals suggest the business is authentic.
- This initiative follows a similar verification feature for Gmail, part of Google's efforts to enhance online trust and safety.
- The feature is currently limited to large businesses and may involve manual verification processes.
