Most Queries Have Fully Meets Results

📑 Rating Using the Needs Met Scale

There are many different kinds of queries and results, but the process of rating is the same: Needs Met rating tasks ask you to focus on mobile user needs and think about how helpful and satisfying the result is for the mobile users.

This is what the Needs Met rating slider looks like:

📑 Needs Met Ratings

• Fully Meets (FullyM)
  A special rating category, which only applies to certain queries and results. All or almost all mobile users would be immediately and fully satisfied by the result and would not need to view other results to satisfy their need.
• Highly Meets (HM)
  Very helpful for many or most mobile users. Some users may wish to see additional results.
• Moderately Meets (MM)
  Helpful for many users OR very helpful for some mobile users. Some or many users may wish to see additional results.
• Slightly Meets (SM)
  Helpful for fewer mobile users. There is a connection between the query and the result, but not a strong or satisfying connection. Many or most users would wish to see additional results.
• Fails to Meet (FailsM)
  Completely fails to meet the needs of the mobile users. All or almost all users would wish to see additional results.

Please note that you may assign in-between ratings. Use in-between ratings if you think the rating of a result falls between two labels. You can either drag the slider or click on the point that you want the slider to land on.

📑 Rating Result Blocks: Block Content and Landing Pages

For Needs Met rating, you will assign a rating to each result. Each result includes the content inside the result block and landing pages associated with the result.

Which part of the result do you rate? It depends on both the query and the result block:

📑 Result Block Types

📑 Special Content Result Block (SCRB)

Note: Assume that interactive result blocks function as intended. Try to interact with the result block as some links, buttons, or other features in your rating task may work.

What to Rate: The content inside this type of block should always play a large role in your rating. In addition, think about whether a user would click on the link(s) if available, in order to satisfy their user need.

• If most users would not click, rate the Special Content Result Block based on the block content alone.
• If some or many users would click, you may consider the helpfulness of the landing page(s) in addition to the content in the block. In this case, both need to be helpful to justify a high rating.

📑 Web Search Result Block

What to Rate: A click is required, and you should evaluate the landing page to assign a rating.

📑 Device Action Result Block

What to Rate: Base your rating on the helpfulness of the action itself.

---

For example, think about the query what does love mean.

Special Content Result Block

Most users would probably not click on the Special Content Result Block, because the block contains a large amount of helpful content and has no obvious landing page link associated with it. Therefore, base your rating on the content inside the block itself.

Web Search Result Block

In this case, users would have to click on the web search result in order to get an answer to the question. Therefore, base your rating on the content of the landing page.

Here are some examples of Special Content Result Blocks where the block should be rated primarily on the content inside the block itself. As always, please use your judgment.

Query: utopia animal hospital

Query: chicago weather

Query: calories in a banana

Query: how to find security code on visa

Query: how did Lincoln die

Query: movies san francisco

📑 Fully Meets (FullyM)

Fully Meets is a special rating category, which can be used in the following situations:

• The query and user need must be specific, clear, and unambiguous.
• The result must be fully satisfying for mobile users, requiring minimal effort for users to immediately get or use what they are looking for.
• All or almost all users would be completely satisfied by the result—users issuing that query would not need additional results to fully satisfy the user intent.

In other words, the Fully Meets rating should be reserved for results that are the "complete and perfect response or answer" so that no other results are necessary for all or almost all users to be fully satisfied.

You will need to use your judgment to decide whether a result block can Fully Meet the user need. Here are some scenarios when the Fully Meets rating is appropriate:

• The user is clearly looking for a specific webpage or website and the result block with the specific webpage or website Fully Meets the user's need.
• The user is trying to complete a device action and the result block accomplishes the desired request.
• The user is looking for a very specific fact or piece of information and the result block provides the information immediately, thoroughly, accurately, and clearly. No other results would be needed. Before using the Fully Meets rating for queries seeking a very specific fact or piece of information, you must check for accuracy and confirm that the information is supported by expert consensus where such consensus exists.

Fully Meets may apply in other situations as well. Ask yourself whether the result block alone is the perfect and complete result that would fully satisfy all or almost all users. Be conservative when using the Fully Meets rating. When in doubt, consider a lower rating.

Note: If a result block is very close to being fully satisfying, but the block alone may not be sufficient in order to fully satisfy all or almost all users, a rating of Highly Meets+ may be appropriate.*

Sometimes you have to think about how specific the user need is and will need to make a judgment call on whether it is specific enough to possibly have a Fully Meets rating.

📑 Examples of Queries that Cannot Have Fully Meets Results

There are some queries that cannot have a Fully Meets result. Here are some examples.

• Broad queries where no single result could fully satisfy all users
  • Example: knitting
    This is a broad informational query. Knitting is an activity anyone can do and that anyone can create a website for. Different users may want different types of content: videos, instructions, patterns, etc. There is no one official source for knitting information and no one result could satisfy most users. Therefore, no Fully Meets result is possible for this query.
  • Famous names. Example: barack obama
    This is a broad informational query and it is impossible to know exactly what the user is looking for.
• Ambiguous queries without a clear user intent or dominant interpretation
  • Example: ada
    There is no dominant interpretation for this query. The following entities are all common interpretations: Americans with Disabilities Act, American Dental Association, and American Diabetes Association. While each interpretation has an official homepage, none is Fully Meets since there is no dominant interpretation.
  • Non-famous people names. Example: sam wen
    Queries for people's names can be tricky. Many or most people queries do not have a dominant interpretation. Even unusual sounding name queries may not have a dominant interpretation. For example, the queries sam wen, tran nguyen, and david mease can have no Fully Meets result because there are multiple people with each of these names, and it is not clear that most users are looking for any one particular individual.

📑 Highly Meets (HM)

A rating of Highly Meets is assigned to results that meet the needs of many or most users. Highly Meets results are highly satisfying and a good "fit" for the query. In addition, they often have some or all of the following characteristics: high quality, authoritative, entertaining, and/or recent (e.g., breaking news on a topic).

In order to receive a Highly Meets rating, information pages such as encyclopedia articles and news articles must be accurate and highly credible. Highly Meets medical and scientific information pages must represent well-established scientific/medical consensus unless the user is clearly seeking an alternative viewpoint.

This LP is on a well-known fact-checking and debunking website. The page calls this story "False", then provides a credible explanation of how the authors came to that conclusion, including history of similar urban legends. This result would be very helpful for users seeking to verify the credibility of this rumor.

Query: pj fleck
User Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota
User Intent: Find information or recent news about P.J. Fleck, who had just become the new head football coach at the University of Minnesota a few days before this example was written

This LP is an opinion piece written by the Editorial Board of the largest newspaper in the U.S. state of Minnesota.

User Location: Orlando, Florida
User Intent: Find reviews of the 2017 film The LEGO Batman Movie on credible news or entertainment sources.

This LP is an in-depth review of the queried movie by a film critic at a reputable newspaper. This result would be very helpful for many or most users.

📑 Moderately Meets (MM)

A rating of Moderately Meets is assigned to results that are helpful and satisfying for many users or very satisfying for some users.

Moderately Meets results have fewer valuable attributes than Highly Meets results. Moderately Meets results should still "fit" the query, but they might be less comprehensive, less up-to-date, come from a less authoritative source, etc.

Moderately Meets results are not low quality, out-of-date, or inaccurate. Moderately Meets results are generally average to good.

📑 Examples of Moderately Meets (MM) Result Blocks

Query: shutterfly
User Location: Boise, Idaho
User Intent: Go to the Shutterfly website or find information about the company.

The LP for this web result is a high-quality page on crunchbase.com—a member site on the TechCrunch network—with a profile of Shutterfly. The MC has a lot of helpful and accurate information about the company and is easy to read on a mobile device. This result would be helpful for many users or very helpful for some.

Query: tom cruise
User Location: Scottsdale, Arizona
User Intent: Find biographical information or current news/celebrity gossip about Tom Cruise

The LP for this web result contains information about Tom Cruise, which would be helpful for many users or very helpful for some users. The photos and main links can easily be accessed on a phone.

Note that there are many, many pages about Tom Cruise and this result is not helpful enough for a rating of Highly Meets.

Query: seattle, washington
User Location: Denver, Colorado
User Intent: Find information, news, maps, etc. related to Seattle, Washington.

This is a broad query for a city. Different users may be looking for different things.

The result shows a map of Seattle, Washington and clicking on the map brings up a more detailed map. This result may be helpful for some users.

Query: city of angels
User Location: Los Angeles, California
User Intent: Find information about the movie, song, musical, school, or some other entity by this name.

This result reflects one of several possible user intents, as the query is also the name of a movie, song, musical, and more. However, since the user location is near the school, this result would be very helpful for some users—specifically, users who are looking for the school.

Query: youtube
User Location: Tucson, Arizona
User Intent: Go to the YouTube website.

This is a result to download one of the YouTube apps. Mobile users want answers and results right away and may not be able to spend a lot of time downloading and installing apps. It is possible that users want one of the YouTube apps, but it is probably not the dominant intent for mobile users on the go.

Query: nicaraguan money
User Location: Miami, Florida
User Intent: Find out what Nicaraguan currency is called, what it looks like, the exchange rate, etc.

This result displays the name of Nicaraguan currency. Some users may have their need met by learning the name of the currency, but many users may want images, know the exchange rate, etc. This result would be helpful for many users or very helpful for some users.

Query: where is virginia in the us
User Location: Louisville, Kentucky
User Intent: Find where the state of Virginia is located in the U.S.

The description in this result block may be helpful for users who are already familiar with this area in the United States. Many or most users would probably want to see a map or a clearer description.

Query: every breath you take lyrics
User Location: Fort Davis, Texas
User Intent: Find the lyrics to the song "Every Breath You Take," which was written by Sting

The LP for this lyrics website page has the requested lyrics. There are many lyrics websites on the web and many pages are not 100% accurate. Moderately Meets is an appropriate rating for average pages with the requested lyrics.

Query: kristen wiig
User Location: New York, New York
User Intent: Find more information about the actress, comedian, writer, and producer

This is Kristen Wiig's official website, but the only content is links to her talent and PR agencies, along with a note that says she is not on any social networking sites. While this information is helpful, many users would want to see more.

📑 Slightly Meets (SM)

A rating of Slightly Meets is assigned to results that are helpful and satisfying for some or few users. Slightly Meets results may serve a minor interpretation, be low quality, have stale or outdated information, have some minor inaccuracies, be too specific, too broad, too niche for the general user population considering the query, etc. to receive a higher rating.

Important note: On mobile phones, the "cost of a click" is high. Many users decide which result to click or tap on based on the title of the web result on the search results page. (Note that these titles usually come from webpages.) A result with a very misleading or exaggerated title should be rated Slightly Meets or lower, due to the poor user experience that occurs when the landing page does not match the expectation of the user when clicking or tapping on the result.

📑 Examples of Slightly Meets (SM) Result Blocks

Query: britney spears
User Location: Baltimore, Maryland
User Intent: Find information about Britney Spears (e.g., current news, pictures).

The LP of this mobile-friendly web result has a 2006 article about Britney Spears filing for divorce. This is very old, stale news, making the result helpful for few users.

Query: honda odyssey
User Location: Miami, Florida
User Intent: We will assume that users are interested in the current Honda Odyssey model, unless specified otherwise.

Although the LP has comprehensive information from a reputable source, and is easy to use on a mobile device, the information is about the 2010 Honda Odyssey. This information would be considered stale for the query today, making this result helpful for some or few users.

Query: hot dog
User Location: Sunnyvale, California
User Intent: Find information about hot dogs, such as recipes or nutrition information

The LP of this web result is about the movie "Hot Dog," which came out in 1984 and is a minor interpretation of this query. Because this is an unlikely interpretation, this web result would be helpful for few users, even though the landing page has good content from a reputable source, and is easy to use on a mobile device.

Query: motorcycles
User Location: Potsdam, New York
User Intent: Find information about motorcycles.

This result provides contact information for one of the two motorcycle shops in Potsdam, New York. It is possible this would be helpful for some users, but many users would be looking for information. Additionally, there is distracting information (a listing for an insurance agent).

Query: abe lincoln's birthday
User Location: Fort Davis, Texas
User Intent: Find this specific piece of information.

This is a Wikipedia page that has birthdays for all U.S. presidents, including Abraham Lincoln. However, his birthday is not prominently displayed and it is not obvious that the answer is there—users have to do some work and search around on the page to find the answer, making SM to SM+ an appropriate rating.

Query: lack of sex and problems with my marriage
User Location: Waco, Texas
User Intent: Find help for marital issues.

The quality of writing in this article, which was created by a person without expertise in marriage or relationship counseling, is poor. Even though the article is about the query, the page is low quality and untrustworthy. It would be helpful for few users.

Query: nail spa
User Location: San Jose, California
User Intent: Find a nail spa in or near San Jose.

Burke Williams is a day spa that offers many treatments like massage therapy, skin care, etc. While it does have nail care options, it is not a dedicated nail spa.

Query: what type of sharks live in rivers
User Location: Tucson, Arizona
User Intent: Find information about what types of sharks live in rivers.

This result block does not contain enough information to be fully satisfying and mentions only one type of shark. Most users would need to do further research.

Query: 210 area code
User Location: Austin, Texas
User Intent: Find what area uses the 210 area code for phone numbers.

The answer in this result block is really confusing. Even if users can figure it out, they would likely still have to click on the link, or go to another website, to confirm the information.

While there is a map, you would have to expand or click on it to see the details, so it is not that helpful.

Query: ibm
User Location: Rockville, Maryland
User Intent: Go to the IBM website or find information about the company.

This block contains images of the logo for IBM, but these images are not particularly helpful for this query.

Query: where is nibiru
User Location: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
User Intent: Find the location of "Nibiru", which was a fictional planet in the movie Star Trek Into Darkness, as well as a pseudoscientific outer planet in the solar system that doesn't actually exist.

The title of this article makes it appear as though the article describes an impending catastrophe. Yet, the MC states in its third paragraph that Nibiru "doesn't actually exist" and calls believers in it "conspiracy theorists". The title contradicts the content of the article, and as a result could mislead users who don't read the full article.

Note: The "cost of a click" is high on mobile phones. Results with very misleading or exaggerated titles should be rated Slightly Meets or lower.

📑 Fails to Meet (FailsM)

A rating of Fails to Meet should be assigned to results that are helpful and satisfying for no or very few users. Fails to Meet results are unrelated to the query, factually incorrect (please check for factual accuracy of answers), and/or all or almost all users would want to see additional results. These results completely fail to meet the user intent, such as a lack of attention to an aspect of the query (or user location) that is important for satisfying user intent. Fails to Meet may also be used for results that are extremely low quality, have very stale or outdated information, be nearly impossible to use on a mobile device, etc.

Fails to Meet should be used for the following types of Lowest Page Quality results:

• Results that harm users (e.g., malicious download pages, "phishing" pages or websites, etc.).
• Pages or websites that misrepresent the website's owner or purpose, such as by impersonating a different site (e.g., copied logo or branding of an unaffiliated site, URL that mimics another site's name).
• Pages or websites that appear to be deliberate attempts to misinform or deceive users by presenting factually inaccurate content (e.g., fake product reviews, demonstrably inaccurate news, etc.).
• Pages or websites with factually inaccurate content that can cause harm to users, regardless of their purpose or intent (e.g., inaccurate medical information; inaccurate information about how to vote, obtain a visa or green card, pay government taxes, etc.).

The following should also be rated Fails to Meet because they lead to very poor and upsetting user experiences:

• Porn results for non-porn-seeking queries.
• Upsetting or offensive results for queries that are not obviously seeking upsetting or offensive content.
• Pages that directly contradict well-established scientific or medical consensus for queries seeking scientific or medical information, unless the query indicates the user is seeking an alternative viewpoint.
• Pages that directly contradict well-established historical facts (e.g., unsubstantiated conspiracy theories), unless the query clearly indicates the user is seeking an alternative viewpoint.

📑 Examples of Fails to Meet (FailsM) Result Blocks

Query: dogs
User Location: Pittsfield Charter Township, Michigan
User Intent: Find information (e.g., pictures, breeds, training details, etc.) related to dogs.

Note: For this query, it is very unlikely users want to go anywhere in person.

This is a broad informational query for an animal. Different users may be looking for different things.

This result block shows visit-in-person information for three different dog care providers near the user location. However, the query is very broad and it is unlikely users want to go anywhere in person.

Query: mike
User Location: Eustis, Florida
User Intent: Find information about something related to Mike.

Note: For this query, it is unlikely users want to go anywhere in person.

This is a broad query and it is unclear exactly what the user is looking for.

This result block shows visit-in-person information for two businesses that contain the name Mike. However, the query is very broad and it is very unlikely these businesses are what users seek given the query.

Query: tampa rays
User Location: Tampa, Florida
User Intent: Find information (e.g., scores, roster, recent news) about a professional baseball team in Florida called Tampa Bay Rays.

Note: For this query, it is unlikely users want to go anywhere in person.

This result block shows information to visit a sports card store in person, which happens to have the baseball team in the name. However, remember that for this query, it is unlikely users want to go anywhere in person.

Note: This business was fabricated for the purposes of this example, and does not exist in real life.

Query: wral
User Location: Wake County, North Carolina
User Intent: Go to the WRAL website or find other information about the news station in North Carolina.

Note: Users generally would not go to a news station in person.

WRAL is a television news station in North Carolina. Users want to go to the website or find information about the station. In this example, clicking on the blocks show information about the businesses' corporate headquarters. Note that television stations (like radio stations, newspapers, etc.) usually have special contact information for the public that is different than their corporate headquarter information. Also, with the query just being the name of the station, it is very unlikely that users want this kind of information.

Query: texas farm fertilizer
User Location: Dallas, Texas
User Intent: Find information about, or where to buy, fertilizer from the company Texas Farm

This result block shows the Texas Farm corporate office, which is not helpful given the user intent—users could not physically go to the company's corporate office to buy or learn about the product. Fertilizer is the kind of product that you would have to buy at a store.

Query: united 656
User Location: Skokie, Illinois
User Intent: Find information about flight 656 operated by United Airlines (e.g., whether the flight is on time, what gate it is departing from).

This result shows information for a church, an event venue, and the closest airport. However, users clearly want to know details about a specific flight, and there is absolutely no information in the block about the flight. This result Fails to Meet the user intent.

Query: german cars
User Location: Toledo, Ohio
User Intent: Find information about German cars or go to the official homepage of a German automaker.

This LP is the homepage of Subaru, a Japanese car company, not a German car company.

The page completely Fails to Meet the user intent and would be helpful for no or very few users.

Query: company to get rid of the possum in my attic
User Location: Naperville, Illinois
User Intent: Find a company to trap and remove a possum from the attic.

This LP is the homepage of a pest control company in Australia. U.S. users would need a U.S. company to take care of this problem. There is a mismatch between the page and the locale that makes this result helpful for no users—it completely Fails to Meet the user intent.

Query: starting jets quarterback 2001
User Location: Chicago, Illinois
User Intent: Find the name of the starting quarterback for the New York Jets football team in 2001.

Although this is a trustworthy website for information about NFL football, this LP does not contain the information requested by the user. This result completely Fails to Meet the user intent.

Query: navigate to yellowstone national park
User Location: Denver, Colorado
User Intent: Navigate to Yellowstone National Park from the user's location.

This web result (the official homepage of Yellowstone National Park) completely fails to respond to the specific Device Action query: to navigate to the park.

Query: doctor salary
User Location: San Francisco, California
User Intent: Find information about doctor salaries.

The answer in this block is about the cost of education, not salary, which is misleading and doesn't answer the user's query.

Query: stony child development center west point phone number
User Location: West Point, New York
User Intent: Find the telephone number for the Stony Child Development Center in West Point, New York.

The answer in this block provides the phone number for the West Point Club, not the Stony Child Development Center located in West Point, New York. This result Fails to Meet the user intent.

Query: who invented stairs
User Location: Lubbock, Texas
User Intent: Find out about the origin of stairs.

The answer provided in this result block is factually inaccurate. Stairs have been a common architectural feature of buildings, pathways, outdoor structures, etc. since long before 1948, and they were not invented by a person named Werner Bösendörfer.

Query: young famous app developers
User Location: Lubbock, Texas
User Intent: Find information about, or a list of, well-known app developers who are young

This result includes several apps to download, with an option to see more apps. The user is looking for information about app developers that are well-known, so it Fails to Meet the user intent.

Note: Unless you feel the user intent to download an app is strong, results that allow users to download apps are generally less helpful. Mobile users want answers and results right away, at that moment, and may not be able to spend a lot of time downloading and installing apps.

Query: send text message to john that i'm running late
User Location: New York, New York
User Intent: Send a text message to a contact named John with the message "I'm running late."

Action: Send an email
Subject:
Recipient: John
Body: I'm running late

The user clearly wants to send a text message. The Device Action result to "Send an email" is incorrect and completely Fails to Meet user intent.

Query: weather
User Location: Mountain View, California
User Intent: Find current weather information for Mountain View, California.

Query Time: 2013-4-23 6:00:12
Action: Set alarm
Alarm Time: 22:43:00

The user clearly wants weather information. The Device Action result to set an alarm is inappropriate (and even absurd) for this information query. This result completely Fails to Meet the user intent.

Query: batman
User Location: Anaheim, California
User Intent: Find information about the fictional superhero that appears in American comic books, movies, and television shows.

It is extremely unlikely (potentially a no-chance interpretation) that this query is looking for information on a city in Turkey called Batman, given that the user is located in the United States. No or almost no users would be satisfied with this result.

Query: obama
User Location: Austin, Texas
User Intent: Find information about Barack Obama.

It is extremely unlikely (potentially a no-chance interpretation) that this query is looking for information on a city in Japan called Obama, given that the user is located in the United States. No or almost no users would be satisfied with this result.

Query: weather paris, texas
User Location: Paris, Texas
User Intent: Find current weather information for Paris, Texas.

This result completely fails to satisfy the user intent, which is to find weather information for Paris, Texas, and not Paris, France. No users would be satisfied with this result.

Query: what is the third quarter earnings for ge
User Location: New York, New York
User Intent: Find this most recent third quarter earnings information for General Electric

This result does not answer the user's question to show third quarter earnings for GE. No users would be satisfied with this result.

Query: city of angels
User Location: Chicago, Illinois
User Intent: Find information about the school, a movie by this name, or some other entity by this name.

This result reflects one of several possible user intents, as the query is also the name of a movie, song, musical, and more.

Since the user location is in Chicago, very few or no users would be interested in seeing information about a school by this name in Los Angeles that is not well known outside of this city. It is very unlikely that people outside of Los Angeles would use this query to search for this school.

Query: go kart for sale
User Location: Warrington, Pennsylvania
User Intent: Find go karts for sale in the Warrington, Pennsylvania area.

This result block shows a go kart arcade in Warrington, Pennsylvania, and two other go kart arcades in the surrounding area. These arcades are places to go ride go karts, not purchase them, so the result completely Fails to Meet the user intent. No users would be satisfied with this result.

Query: ralphs
User Location: San Clemente, California
User Intent: There are two possible user intents: most users probably want to visit a nearby Ralphs location or go to the website.

Ralphs is a nationwide supermarket chain. These locations are all in San Diego, California, which is a major city south of the user location (about 60 miles away). These results are too far to be helpful.

Query: amazon
User Location: Austin, Texas
User Intent: Go to the Amazon website.

Users issuing this query want to go to the Amazon website.

Showing information about how to visit or call the corporate office for an online company would not be helpful. Very, very few people ever go to an Amazon corporate office, which is not open to the public. If someone needed to go to the office for an interview or business visit, they would need to get that information from someone at the company or would use a more specific query.

Query: what is the closest large city
User Location: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
User Intent: Find the closest large city to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

A news result is inappropriate and completely unhelpful for this query. No users would be satisfied with this result.

Query: australian open mens singles result 2008
**User Location:**Kent, Washington
User Intent: Find a page that displays the 2008 men's singles result for this tennis tournament.

This LP is about the 2004 Australian Open, not the 2008 Australian Open. It does not pay attention to an aspect of the query that is important for satisfying user intent (i.e., 2008). The result Fails to Meet the user intent.

Query: tooth loss five years old
User Location: Denton, Texas
User Intent: Find information about tooth loss in a five-year-old child.

This LP has information about tooth loss in pike fish and has the words "five years old" on the page. This result Fails to Meet the user intent because it has keyword matches only and would be helpful for no users.

Query: what is wedding in spanish
User Location: Denton, Texas
User Intent: Find how to say the word "wedding" in Spanish.

The translation in the result block is completely wrong and inaccurate.

Mañana means "tomorrow," not "wedding."

Query: american express
User Location: Denton, Texas
User Intent: Go to the American Express card website or get information about the company and its products and services.

The LP is a humorous blog post about a wife helping her husband to buy a suit. The page mentions "American Express," but is insufficiently related to the query to be helpful for users, so it Fails to Meet the user intent.

Query: how to quit smoking
User Location: Denton, Texas
User Intent: Find information on ways to quit smoking.

This LP has gibberish text. Read this sentence: "How do you make a cigarette symbol on the keyboard? In." The quality of the landing page is so low that the page Fails to Meet the user intent.

Query: american beauty
User Location: Mountain View, California
User Intent: Learn more about the movie called "American Beauty".

This is the official website of the movie "American Beauty". However, the landing page is extremely difficult to use (even seems broken on a mobile phone) and there is no satisfying or helpful content on the page—it Fails to Meet the user intent.
QR Code to view the page:

Query: starting order for today's nascar race
User Location: Denton, Texas
User Intent: Find information about the starting order of the Nascar race that day.

This result shows a NASCAR schedule, but does not have the starting order. The content is not what the user is looking for and Fails to Meet the user intent.

Query: air canada phone number
User Location: Seattle, Washington
User Intent: Find the customer service phone number for the airline Air Canada.

Remember that you should check for the factual accuracy of answers. For this result, go to the company's page at http://www.aircanada.com/en/customer care/int/ and select USA to check the number shown here. According to the airline's website, the correct phone number is 1-888-247-2262. Because this answer is incorrect, it should be rated Fails to Meet.

Query: obama news
User Location: Norfolk, Virginia
User Intent: Find recent news about Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States

The MC of this page is an example of a demonstrably inaccurate news report, including a fictitious quotation by Barack Obama. Because the content is presented as a factual news article, it is inaccurate with an intent to deceive users and should be rated Fails to Meet.

Query: does smoking cause cancer
User Location: Scottsdale, Arizona
User Intent: Find out whether smoking causes cancer.

Despite strong medical consensus linking tobacco to lung cancer—which can be found at authoritative sources by searching lung cancer and smoking—this LP claims there is no connection between smoking and cancer by selectively interpreting some experiments done on animals.

Additionally, this is a YMYL query on a medical topic, so accurate and trustworthy information is highly important. This page directly contradicts well-established medical consensus and may potentially cause harm to users, so it should be rated Fails to Meet.

Query: betty white
User Location: Lexington, Kentucky
User Intent: Find information about the American actress Betty White, such as biographical info, filmography, awards, current news, etc.

Betty White was alive at the time this example was written. This LP is a social media profile page created by an unknown author that was designed to look like a memorial page for Betty White and falsely states that she died. This page is factually inaccurate and deceptive to users, so it should be rated Fails to Meet.

Remember: For informational queries/results, it is important to check other reputable sources to determine if the result is factually accurate. A quick online search for betty white would allow you to confirm that she was still alive.

Query: miley cyrus
User Location: Lexington, Kentucky
User Intent: Find information about the American singer/actress Miley Cyrus, such as biographical info, discography/filmography, current news, etc.

Miley Cyrus was alive at the time this example was written. This LP is an article written by an unknown author that was designed to look like a news story and falsely states that she died. Furthermore, the page is found on a low quality website, and the article has not been updated, clarified, or removed even days after having been proven false. This page is factually inaccurate and deceptive to users, so it should be rated Fails to Meet.

Remember: Just because a website has the look and feel of a traditional news site does NOT mean that you should consider the reporting to be factually accurate without further research. Watch out for sites that present themselves as news, but were actually created with the intent to mislead or misinform users.

Query: holocaust history
User Location: Cooperstown, New York
User Intent: Find historical information about the Holocaust.

This query is seeking historical information. The LP of this web result is on a well-known white supremacist hate site (read more here or here). The discussion on this page is inaccurate and misleading, since the Holocaust is an extremely well-documented historical event.

Remember: Pages that directly contradict well-established historical facts should be rated Fails to Meet, unless the query clearly indicates the user is seeking an alternative viewpoint.

Query: who is hitler's daughter
User Location: Cooperstown, New York
User Intent: Find the name of or information about Adolf Hitler's daughter, if Hitler in fact had a daughter.

This LP is a blog post presenting a factually unsupported conspiracy theory that Angela Merkel is the daughter of Adolph Hitler. Because the MC is inaccurate and misleading, it completely Fails to Meet the user intent, even though the topic of the page matches the query.

Note: A more helpful result for this query might confirm that Adolf Hitler had no children, or provide information on the novel Hitler's Daughter by Jackie French.

Query: islam
User Location: Lexington, Kentucky
User Intent: Find information about the religion of Islam.

This is a broad query seeking information about Islam. The LP was created for the purpose of stating the author's opinion that Islam is not a religion. The author lacks expertise in the topic; the writing has frequent misspellings, typos, and grammar errors; and the page seems to exist to promote intolerance or hate.

Remember: Upsetting or offensive results for queries that are not obviously seeking this type of content should be rated Fails to Meet.

Most Queries Have Fully Meets Results
