How can we show Header Image in Google SERP?

How can we show Header Image in Google SERP?

I was just searching on Google and found that SERP is showing thumbnails in snippets (Image 1). Watching more closely, those were Header Images... (Image 2) of emarketing.netsmartz.net/.

Is google picking these abruptly or some type of tagging is working here... These don`t look nice to me because they are cropped... Or should be markup website logo so that Google show LO not any other cropped images...

  • Suraj Gadage: Just to clarify everyone, this type of view in search results appear only when someone searches with related: operator (to identify related sites). Except news search result Google is no longer displaying images beside the search results.

    Now to answer your question +Neeraj Kumar ;the images appearing in search results are picked up randomly by Google even if you have open graph markup added on the page.

    Hope this helps!
