When I started learning about Google Web Stories, I didn't realize just how different they were than the other "stories" out there.
When I pictured a web story, I thought it was just like most Instagram stories - a collection of sometime related images and videos. But it turns out they are a lot more than that.
So read on as I go over my biggest takeaways about what makes a good Google Web Story.
Web Stories are Google's attempt to take the now-classic Instagram "story" approach and apply it to their search results.
They look almost identical to the Instagram / Facebook / Pinterest story model and are a series of "slides" containing images, videos, text or audio that you can swipe through, or have advance on their own.
Google states that they should be self-contained stories, not partial stories or teasers.
They are also mainly mobile based, though browsers can display them as well.
