RESONEO uncovers Google's real list: 305 sets of ranking signals, 34 serving generative AI
VeryWellVersed · x · 2026-11-12
SEO agency RESONEO mined Google's code (RankLab) to compile the actual list of ranking signals Google keeps: 305 sets total — 167 per result, 138 per query. 48 apply to a web page and 34 serve generative AI surfaces like AI Overviews, AI Mode and Web Guide. The list includes RankBrain, topic authority, hidden gems, NavBoost, Glue, Starbow and Libra, far exceeding the folklore '200 signals' figure Google's John Mueller retired in 2021.
