Search Engine Roundtable Stories:

Google Search Ranking Algorithm Update On July 10th – Not Confirmed

Yet again, we are seeing more volatility and ranking instability in the Google Search results. It probably started around July 9th through July 10th or so and we are seeing more chatter and many of the tools showing spikes.

Huge Drop In Google People Also Ask

Google seems to be showing the people also ask feature a lot less often now on desktop. According to Semrush and RankRanger, it was at about 60% of queries showing people also ask and now it is closer to 30%.

Google’s Top Ranked SERP Feature Leads To Critic Reviews & Product Review Articles On Mobile

If you’re an e-commerce retailer, or if you provide product reviews, then this latest SERP feature from Google will surely interest you. I recently noticed a ‘Top Ranked’ feature that works in conjunction with Critic Reviews and other product review articles when searching for specific products.

Google Tests Large Images In Search Ads Again

Google is once again testing showing very large images and a very large image in the search ads again. These Google Ads take up a lot of search result page real estate.

Google Signed Exchanges For Desktop, Top Stories and News Now Live

As you may remember, back in April Google said it is bringing signed exchanges support to desktop. Well that launched on Friday, July 8th. Signed exchanges in Google Search for desktop, top stories, news and more are live.

Google Ads Updates Rules For Abortion Ads

Google has posted changes or updates for those who are advertising around abortion topics. These changes impact advertisers providing medication abortions or abortion pills.

Most SEOs Believe Google’s November Core & Reviews Updates Will Complete In December

Published

November 28, 2023

Entireweb News Bot

The Google November 2023 core update and Google November 2023 reviews update are still both rolling out, and we have no estimated time of when they will finish rolling out. Both are well past their estimated two-week rollout period. I ran a poll yesterday asking SEOs when they think it will be done, and most said in December and not in the next few days left of November.

The poll had just under 600 votes in 24-hours and 79% said the update will be completed in December and 21% said in the last days remaining in November. I posted the poll on X – here it is:

Will the Google core and reviews update finish in November or December?

— Barry Schwartz (@rustybrick) November 27, 2023

Personally, I thought it would be done by now and I still think it will be done in the next day or so – but I am wrong a lot. 🙂

I do hope it is done today so they can roll out the Christmas holiday update (kidding…).

Forum discussion at X.

Update: I’ll have a story tomorrow but at least one of the updates is done in November:

The roll-out of the November core update is now complete.https://t.co/geIJA2Bg8g

Google Search Console Was Down Today

Google Search Console seems to be down right now. If you try to access it, you will get a 500 server error. I suspect Search Console will be back up shortly but right now, if it is down for you, you are not alone.

Update: At 8:52 am ET Google Search Console is back, the tool was offline for about 50 minutes.

Google’s Daniel Waisberg is 100% aware of the issue. He responded to some posts about the issue, saying, “we’re working on it.” John Mueller from Google is also reposting Daniel’s posts on X.

Here is what it looked like when you tried to access it while it was down:

Search Console went down at about 8 am ET and returned at 8:52 am ET.

Here are the posts on X from Daniel Waisberg of Google on this issue:

I was looking for a plug to charge my phone, so I had to unplug the server 🤷‍♂️

— Daniel Waisberg (@danielwaisberg) November 27, 2023

Joking aside, we’re working on it! 👨‍💻

— Daniel Waisberg (@danielwaisberg) November 27, 2023

Who knows, maybe we will have a new Search Console feature when it returns?

Here are some of the complaints:

Search Console its down atm.

Is Google Search Console currently experiencing issues? It’s not functioning on my device.

Should be all good now.

Google Testing New Flight Prices Rich Result?

Published

November 27, 2023

Entireweb News Bot

Google may be testing a new type of rich result for flight prices. This test shows a section under the flight search snippet that contains the dates, trip details and price.

This was spotted by Antoine Eripret who was able to trigger this numerous times, over numerous days, while in Spain. Here is his screenshot he posted on X:

He also posted this video of this in action for me:

Recently Google told us not to put flight prices in titles because those prices change too quickly. Maybe Google is testing updating those prices in more real time through the use of structured data and is thus more confident to show them as rich results and not title elements?

I don’t think Google officially supports flight schema but maybe they will soon?
