Semrush Data Shows December 2021 Was The Most Volatile For Google Search Results

According to recent Semrush data, this month, the month of December, was the most volatile month of the year and probably Google history. Here is a chart Mordy Oberstein of Semrush shared on Twitter showing how December soared amongst the rest of the months in 2021.
Yes, December felt super volatile when it came to the fluctuations and changes reported by most of the tools. We covered it a lot in our Google updates category, specifically how big the tremors were in December around the confirmed Google product reviews update that rolled out for about three weeks in December.
And keep in mind, Semrush also said that the 2021 year in general was a lot more volatile that other years and also that I am not crazy.
So we ended 2021, a crazy 2021, with an even crazier month.
Semrushaggedon. Geesh, stop it with the updates.

Yes, but it’s super-raw data that I’m not in a position to expound upon, thus I removed the label #SecretSauce.

Wow, you’d think COVID would have more than 11 followers (not that 11 is bad… just saying)

Google Golf Tee T-Shirt

Andy Stewart is a Creative Director at Google and he posted this really cool t-shirt design he made. He calls it the Google Golf Club tee shirt. Maybe there is a golf club at Google that he is a part of.
He posted this on Instagram.

All Dealerships Can List Auto Inventory On Google Business Profiles

Google is now opening up its car or auto inventory feature within Google Business Profiles to all motor vehicle dealerships. Google began testing car listings in 2021 and then expanded the cars for sale feature in 2022 and now it is open to all dealerships.
Greg Gifford posted this over here saying, “Any motor vehicle dealer can now list inventory on their Google Business Profiles.” “Google just opened up the “Cars for Sale” widget to anything with a VIN. Until this week, only US-based car dealers could list their inventory on their Google Business Profiles. Now, anything that has a Vehicle Identification Number is eligible to be listed. That means motorcycles, RVs, powersports, and Commercial vehicles are all allowed now,” Greg added.
It is locked down to US-based dealerships right now, it is not yet international.
Here is how the flow works from the local Google mobile search results last year:
To manage vehicle listings through your Business Profile account, perform the following steps:
(1) Access your web Business Profile account at business.google.com/locations.
(2) Select See your profile for the business that you want to change settings for.
(3) Click Edit profile, and then click Vehicle listings.
To manage your vehicle listings through a Google Search, perform the following steps:
(1) Search for your business’s name or “my business” on Google Search.
(2) Click Edit profile, and then click Vehicle listings.
Google calls this vehicle listings and posted more details including, “Vehicle listings on Google allows businesses to display their for sale vehicle inventory on various Google surfaces, including dealerships’ Business Profiles and Google Search. Google users can then search, filter, and easily learn more about vehicles for sale such as availability, pricing, and key information about the vehicles for sale, potentially directing customers to your business.”

Google Cotton Candy Machine

Here is a cotton candy machine that was at the Google office for a YouTube Live event a few months back. I don’t think this machine lives there, I suspect Google rented it for the event, but I am not sure.
We did see some Googlers eating cotton candy a year ago… Just saying…
