I’ve got some final relevant updates before we finish 2022: Google Maps displays an "Offer Available" message under some business profile pins; Google Grinch releases a link spam update in December 2022; the ROI of personalised experiences is measured by audience performance; LinkedIn is used for content marketing. Read on to see how relevant they will be for 2023.
This week's digital update is a cornucopia of tech releases from the majors, a big Google update, and more entertaining Twitter shenanigans. All in delightfully tasteful seasonal wrapping and commentated by JB.
As another year draws to a frantic close, it tends to be a time of reflection as well as (in)digestion. So, in that vein, I’m asking: What’s the best social media platform you’ve used so far to promote your products & services? Which platform topped your list for 2022? Will it be the same for 2023? Let me know your thoughts!
Facebook's Content Report made for very interesting reading this week, as did the new Google Guide to Search Ranking Systems. Duplicate content, TikTok (Bing) and Google Discover also feature.
'Tis the season to go shopping, tra-la-la-la-la-la. Meta, Google and YouTube have all launched new things to help businesses sell this holiday season. Google Business Profile gains an image edit thingie, and we'd better enjoy it all because there's a recession and hard work coming in 2023.
Yet more excitement emerged at Twitter this week, so much that it's tricky keeping up. Facebook is laying off staff and Google is shutting various things while trying to make GA4 usable. Just another few days in Digital.
What a week it was! Google span update, Facebook money woes, Elon buys Twitter, Kanye buys Parler, and YouTube & Netflix raise prices. Phew.

I kinda like the thought that I can order my dinner through Facebook (if I was in the US). Although, I'm not so sure I want Facebook knowing what I have for dinner - that's Insta, so maybe the same thing, ultimately. Facebook is continuing its slow turn into WeChat. It has way more users, but much less "complete life" functionality. It must wish it could own that much data about its users.

Facebook may not know it yet, but it is dead. It's the condemned man; it's the walking dead; it's plugged in to the machine that goes bing. It's only just started having a little thrash around as the rage against the dying of the light starts to simmer, but if you look closely, you can see the signs. Unless there is a miracle cure, Facebook will not be here by the end of the 2020s, maybe the mid-2020s, possibly even the early 2020s. Web declines have historically been precipitous, swift and terminal. Read why Facebook is dead now. #Facebook #SocialMedia #Instagram #NewsFeed #Innovation #DigitalMarketing
