    With the introduction of Flags in the Google parser I figured I would ask for my most wanted feature for the Google parser - identifying SERP features (local, video, news, images, PAA, FAQ, Flights, hotels, etc) No need to parse the actually elements within the SERP feature just detecting which features are being shown for a given keyword.

    This would be a lot of work to maintain with so many serp features and Google constantly updating the source html and not sure how much it would slow down parsing but never hurts to ask :)

    Yes, but with support for more SERP features.

    Ideally would be able to display in order they are found:

    Ad
    organic link
    organic link
    video
    organic link
    PAA
    organic link
    images
    organic link
    etc

    Would this be possible with a paid custom parser or would ongoing maintenance/updates not be worth it for work required to keep functional?

    What types should be added?

    There is no such possibility

    You can prepare technical task and write to Paid Support for a consultation

    At what point would parsing speed be impacted checking for a lot of SERP features say 10-15 different types? I created a custom Google preset that checked for a number of SERP features using xpath but it was very slow. My xpath/coding was probably not the most efficient.

    It is impossible to answer this question without actually adding functionality and testing it.
