It’s New 12/2: Google Core Running, Penalty Notice, Engagement, More Ads, Bing Shopping & 21 Years

Today I celebrated my 21st year anniversary of writing about Search.  Google Chrome has this site engagement metrics (it's not new).  Google has watch animated tutorials. Bing is testing shopping / e-commerce cards.  Google Business Profiles food ordering performance metrics are gone. Google's November 2024 core update did not yet finish and we passed the two weeks timeline, we are into Thanksgiving and Black Friday.  Google is testing a "more sponsored results" button in Google Search. Google Sitelinks search box is gone, finally.  Google Maps has a new report business conduct form for review manipulation. Google Business Profiles guidelines were updated around service-area businesses and minimum age products. Google spoke about giving prior notice of search penalties.   A daily recap video summarizing a few of the top search marketing headlines covered at the Search Engine Roundtable. This recap is called It's New - A quick, daily dose of the latest in SEO with Crystal Carter and Mordy Oberstein of Wix with Greg Finn of Cypress North (and Marketing O’Clock) and Barry Schwartz. More specifics will be posted later at https://www.seroundtable.com/recap-12-02-2024-38506.html
