Google appears to have a formatting issue affecting the “Sponsored results” label in desktop search results. In some browsers or searches, the heading is slightly shifted instead of being properly left-aligned.
The inconsistent alignment was spotted across several Google searches, with the label appearing correctly in some cases and noticeably offset in others. There is no indication that this is an intentional design change or test.
For now, it looks more like a temporary Google Search or Ads UI bug than a meaningful change to how sponsored results are displayed.
Thanks for Barry Schwartz & Sachin Patel.
