Attention all digital enthusiasts! Google's "Helpful Content Update" is here, rewarding high-quality content. But that's not all - TikTok is stepping up its game by incorporating Wikipedia snippets into its search results. Meanwhile, Google faces Antitrust proceedings in the U.S. And in email marketing, are we forgetting our mobile-first approach? Let's discuss!
What an exciting AI filled week it’s been. Just like many other weeks recently. Some brands are now blocking GPTBot (until offered cash, no doubt), Lyft is slapping ads into its app, Meta is being useful, Google is actually stopping UA processing (sniff), and there’s been another Google Core Update to pontificate over. Interested? Dive in for more.
In this week's digital news roundup, we delve into Google Ads' new AI Assistant, Twitter's recent changes, and Google's stance on AI-generated content. We also explore YouTube's latest strategies against AdBlockers and its new linking features. Lastly, we touch upon some valuable insights from MozCon on Local SEO. Curious to know more about these developments and how they can impact your digital marketing strategy? Let's dive in and dissect what these updates could mean for your business. :)
This week turned into a bit of an AI-Google fest, blathering on about the challenges of controlling AI access to your hard-crafted content, vs Google wanting full access. There are also changes to FAQ & How To's on the SERP, presumably due to spam, some sage advice re content pruning, and a good guide to AI-driven PMax Google Ads campaigns. Read it and educate yourself ;-)
This week: Google doesn’t shut something down for once; X, TikTok and Meta do surprising things; Google Business gets shown a bit of love; Generative Search gives some crumbs of exposure for its content-pilfering; and YouTube releases some interesting research which says (shock) people love video. Charming, exciting and annoying all in one handy readable post. Read on and enjoy.
