Google announced it now supports the ClaimReview or Fact Check schema markup for Google Images. This is in addition to Google supporting this on Google News back in 2016 and then on normal web pages. Google said “starting today, we are surfacing fact check information in Google Images globally to help people navigate these issues and make more informed judgments about what they see on the web.”
While this won’t improve your rankings, it may lead to better click-through rates. If your images can be fact checked and you can add this markup, it might prove worthwhile to do. Searchers may begin to recognize the fact check labels and click on those results more often. At the very least, it is worth testing to see if it impacts your click-through rate from the Google search results.

Color wields enormous sway over our attitudes and emotions. When our eyes take in a color, they communicate with a region of the brain known as the hypothalamus, which in turn sends a cascade of signals to the pituitary gland, on to the endocrine system, and then to the thyroid glands. The thyroid glands signal the release of hormones, which cause fluctuation in mood, emotion, and resulting behavior.
Disney movies are a great example for a company that using color that say a lot about the character and personality. For example, in these movies, blue can be seen as a symbol of trust, loyalty, confidence, and stability.
A recent case study showed that adjusting color, among other elements, can increase conversion by as much as 24%.

What Is A Bounce Rate?
Bounce Rate is the percentage of visitors to a website that leave immediately without clicking or interacting with any portion of the page.
For example, if 100 people visit a website, and 40 of them immediately leave, the website has a bounce rate of 40%. Websites aim to have as low of a bounce rate as possible, and averages tend to be anywhere between 40-60%.
Bounce rate helps search engines to determine the users’ interest and can also serve as a metric to help website owners to decide what aspects of their website to optimize.
