Business & Commerce — Macedonia

Google search results are changing in a way most readers have not noticed yet. On many searches, sponsored results still appear, but a new button now lets users hide them, and once hidden, or on searches without ads, Google shows a row of links to real cited articles instead. Google confirmed the change themselves through a new feature called the perspectives carousel. We tested it firsthand: asking for information on a Stow Munroe Falls real estate market returned a full drafted article complete with inline source citations, and a separate search about a recent Ashtabula council meeting surfaced our own neohio.news reporting as a cited source. Results vary depending on the topic searched.
