Google’s Mobile Product Panel Expands Massively

2023-12-07T16:15:16+11:00Categories: SEO News|Tags: , , , , |

Google almost always gives an ecommerce update just before the Thanksgiving turkey goes in the oven, and just in time for the shopping season kick-off. This one focuses on product panels on mobile and enlarges them with space for an ad or two. It's getting harder to spot organic results.

Google Launches Mobile Payments

2023-12-07T16:15:08+11:00Categories: SEO News|Tags: , , , , , |

At long last, Google is getting in on the Mobile Payment action to make our lives easier, and to enable us to buy more stuff, lifting revenue & conversions on the way hopefully. This will work across Android and Chrome and is similar to Apple Pay & Samsung Pay. Unfortunately many retailers and still make purchases difficult to transact via your mobile device - too many form fields!

I think we'll see it gather pace in the next few months, once teething issues are ironed out, but it will still take a very long time for the Mobile First Index to roll out fully, if it ever does.

New SiteLinks Format Being Tested By Google

2017-10-27T21:11:43+11:00Categories: SEO News|Tags: , , , |

The numerous shades of blue company is at it again, testing new SiteLinks layouts which look suspiciously like they are Mobile First ones. You think anything may be in the offing? I wonder if single-column, left-aligned, link lists have worked for any big companies in the past. Hmmm. Mobile first AND retro in one fell swoop.
