Instead of linking directly to the destination page, some results now use a `google.com/goto` URL that redirects through Google first. This can cause the `link` field in some SerpApi responses to contain that intermediary `/goto` URL instead of the direct destination URL. Our engineering team is [actively resolving](https://serpapi.com/blog/serpapi-weekly-changelog-august-17-23-2026/) these across affected result types as Google's implementation continues to evolve; this week we shipped additional fixes covering `ai_overview`, `questions_and_answers`, `recipes_results`, and `video_key_moments` in the Google Search API, as well as the Google Lens and Google Light Search APIs. No changes are required on your end — we'll keep deploying improvements and monitoring the rollout for new variations.
