Google is testing a new format for the Google Sitelinks found under the search results snippets on some sites. Typically, sitelinks are hyperlinks to important pages within a website, and they show up in the form of simple blue links under the search result snippet. But in this new user interface, Google is showing them in a block or card carousel format.

John Lincoln from Ignite Visibility spotted this and shared screen shots with us. Here you can see them for both the organic results and paid results:

Google is constantly testing different user interfaces. However, Google has expanded their testing of the card style interface over the past couple of months.
