Always something...

Google Posts/Updates are starting to disappear from the local panels within Google Search. I saw complaints about this yesterday and tested it by adding a post myself on my business, it was there, until it wasn't. Now I see a huge number of complaints that posts or updates are missing from Google lo...

Regarding The renaming of the Gulf of Mexico and the consequence of doing so. I am not referring to government expenditures (that's a whole other bit) but rather how it affects business owners.

It will be necessary for thousands of small business owners to rewrite all of their meta data... back links..edit any created content...that utilizes the targeted key phrase 'Gulf of Mexico.' In short..business owners must start all over again..

All of what you see below (plus some) must be adjusted accordingly. Years of SEO expenditures to rank well and/or time spent (if done in house) Their ROI just got flushed down the proverbial toilet. The industries who have utilized "Gulf of Mexico" in their key searches have a whole lot of work to do to rebuild their ranking...and that's not cheap. Google wins because it will drive some to use paid ads...(Bad idea.. unattainable or not sustainable for most. SEO firms win. Small businesses on the Gulf of Mexico lost.

From fishing charters...real estate for sale or rent....hotels.. motels.. Airbnbs...VRBOs.. luxury waterfront property rentals and sales ..restaurants..bars...vacation rentals...bed and breakfasts.....to dolphin cruises..parks.. museums...bait shops...historical sites..and more....all must adjust their websites and content accordingly including any correlated data..web wide. This will be extremely costly for many. For most..this will not be an easy or affordable fix.

Well?

Google has lost its final legal challenge against a European Union penalty for giving its own shopping recommendations an illegal advantage over rivals in search results, ending a long-running antitrust case that came with a whopping fine.

I'll withhold commentary.

A judge ruled Monday that Google illegally monopolized search on phones and browsers. That ruling may change how you get information online.

Sullivan, now Google’s official Search Liaison, has been promising this and future updates that address the quality issue. In November, Google advised us to “buckle up.” (he meant to say "stay buckled up" lol)

The last helpful content update, the September 2023 helpful content update was a large update that impacted several sites. Hopefully, some sites impacted will see relief from this March 2024 core update, but it is hard to say at this point.

The classifier for the helpful content system was overhauled and is now baked into the March 2024 core update.

But the helpful content classifiers are not the only systems part of this March 2024 core update. In fact, Google said work for the March 2024 core update started with the 2022 helpful content update.

Need help? Reach out to us.

The Google helpful content update is now part of the core update; all of this leading to a 40% reduction in unhelpful content within search.
