Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.

Google updated its reviews structured data to say to use dots instead of commas for number separators. A local search study shows that review recency matters for rankings. Google Explore search results feature is expanding, Glenn Gabe has more details on that. Google Ads data may be missing from some GA4 API integration with Looker Studio or Google Sheets. Bing is testing trending or top pics in search and Google is testing also nearby for products and product photo sliders.
