(4) Trending labels in blue highlight above Explore Brands snippets:
Nicholas McDonough spotted this and I was able to replicate three different scenarios for the Explore Brands section. (1) A normal version without any labels, (2) trending labels below the snippet, (3) trending labels below in blue highlight and (4) Nicholas noticed the trending labels above the snippet in blue highlight.
Looks like Google has expanded the “Trending” label test. This time it’s under Explore Brands. I’m seeing this on desktop & mobile. Query: top running shoes.
