The label reads &#8220;more from [advertiser name]&#8221; and is shown together with the advertiser&#8217;s favicon and business name, giving shoppers a stronger signal of who is behind each paid placement.<\/p>\n<h2>What the new sponsored sitelink label shows<\/h2>\n<p>The test adds three visible elements above the cluster of secondary links that appear under a top text ad:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A header line in the form &#8220;more from [advertiser name]&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>The advertiser&#8217;s favicon next to that line<\/li>\n<li>The advertiser&#8217;s brand name, displayed in plain text<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The result is that a sponsored block now looks closer to a small brand card, with a name, an icon, and a set of curated destinations, rather than a row of unlabeled links.<\/p>\n<h2>Why the change matters for advertisers<\/h2>\n<p>Putting a brand name and favicon above the sitelinks turns the lower portion of an ad from an anonymous list into a branded unit. Shoppers who scan past the first headline can still tell, at a glance, that every link underneath came from one company. For brands bidding on their own terms, that visual ownership is a clear win because it reduces the chance that a competitor&#8217;s ad looks like part of the same block. For brands running across sitelinks pointing to different product categories, it also sets clearer expectations about what each link will lead to.<\/p>\n<h2>What the change means for searchers<\/h2>\n<p>The same label works in the other direction too. A heading such as &#8220;more from [advertiser name]&#8221; makes it obvious when a set of secondary links all route to one advertiser, so nobody mistakes a bundle of paid sitelinks for organic shortcuts or for links from a different site. That extra clarity is the main reason the test exists.<\/p>\n<h2>How wide the test is and where it runs<\/h2>\n<p>The format has only been seen in limited testing and is not visible to every searcher. The visual itself was shared in a public screenshot, which is the only public evidence so far that Google is running the experiment. Because Google routinely rolls small UI changes out to a slice of users before deciding whether to keep them, advertisers and SEOs should treat this as a pilot rather than a confirmed launch. Tracking tools that capture SERP features can confirm whether the label appears for a given keyword and location.<\/p>\n<h2>What advertisers should watch next<\/h2>\n<p>Three signals are worth watching while the test is live:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Whether the &#8220;more from [advertiser name]&#8221; line is editable through Google Ads, or is pulled automatically from the advertiser&#8217;s verified name<\/li>\n<li>Whether the favicon is sourced from the linked domain or from the advertiser&#8217;s Google Ads account<\/li>\n<li>Whether the label appears across all device types, or only on desktop<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If Google ships the feature more broadly, sitelinks in sponsored results will read less like a plain list and more like a small brand panel, with the company name and icon doing the work that headlines once had to do alone.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>What is Google testing in sponsored results sitelinks?<\/h3>\n<p>Google is testing a header titled &#8220;more from [advertiser name]&#8221; placed above the sitelinks under a top text ad, along with the advertiser&#8217;s favicon and brand name.<\/p>\n<h3>Does the new label show the advertiser&#8217;s name and favicon?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. The label pairs the phrase with the advertiser&#8217;s favicon and the advertiser&#8217;s name, so the sitelink cluster is clearly tied to one brand.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the new sitelink label available to everyone?<\/h3>\n<p>No. The change has only been spotted in a limited test and is not visible to every Google user.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is Google testing in sponsored results sitelinks?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Google is testing a header titled 'more from [advertiser name]' placed above the sitelinks under a top text ad, along with the advertiser's favicon and brand name.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does the new label show the advertiser's name and favicon?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes.
