Hi everyone,
In this week's edition of Kavanah Media's Weekly Marketing Rundown, we'll talk about verified-only feeds on Instagram, potential new Google search ad placements, and more. Let's dive in.
Meta has begun rolling out testing for verified-only feeds to select users. As of right now, you can switch back and forth between the regular curated feed, following only, and favorites feeds. Meta has stated that the “Meta Verified feed will include posts from paying Meta Verified profiles and legacy verified accounts."

Meta is currently being sued by a group of 42 state attorney generals over their app's addictive features. This bipartisan, multi-state support is rare and represents a significant challenge headed Meta's way. Should they lose this, it would likely trigger major changes to Meta's algorithm, affecting both traditional users and advertisers everywhere.

Google search ads have been spotted in between organic results on the search engine results page (SERP). In the past, SERPs have shown a few ads first, followed by a string of organic content, with a few more ads at the bottom of the screen. However, new screenshots have surfaced from experts showing ads in between organic results at spots in the middle of the page. Google neither confirmed nor denied that they were testing this feature.
