JB's DIGITAL UPDATES WORTH PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS WEEK ๐คฉ
๐น Small improvements still count
Google Analytics reporting controls got a bit more useful. Not glamorous. Genuinely helpful if you've ever spent half an hour explaining why three traffic sources are actually the same thing.
๐น The future has been delayed
Google's AI Max migration is postponed. Breathing room for advertisers. Worth noting the direction of travel hasn't changed though.
๐น Attribution is getting fuzzier
Different platforms are reporting different versions of the same conversion. Certainty was always an illusion in measurement. Now it's just harder to pretend otherwise.
๐น Christmas arrives earlier every year
It's June. Meta wants you planning for December. Slightly absurd. Also not wrong.
๐น Google's new favourite hobby
Local Services Ads keep expanding. Google spent years teaching businesses to earn visibility in search. Now it's starting to look like a landlord charging rent on real estate it used to give away free.
Half the year gone. Know which of this week's changes actually affect your customers. The rest is noise with a press release attached.
