SERP Feature Coverage by Country: 10 Countries, 2 Queries, Real 2026 Data
Method note: Measurements in this article were run locally against authenticated Serpent API endpoints on August 3, 2026. Sample sizes are stated in the article. Treat the numbers as a dated field check, not a permanent guarantee.
Short answer: international SERP tracking should store feature presence separately from rank. In this August 2026 quick-search mini-audit, 20/20 country-query pairs returned organic results, and 0/20 returned the extra feature blocks measured in the table below.
This is a deliberately public-safe mini-audit. It does not measure AI Overview coverage. The fields measured here are organic count, People Also Ask, ads, shopping, local pack, videos, related searches, and featured snippet.
