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. Google’s Search visual elements guide names the on-page features; their appearance depends on the query and result page.
