If I had to sum up this month, I'd call it the month of way too many unconfirmed Google search ranking updates. I wrote about five of these, but it felt like there were even more. Google pushed a quality update for its Search Generative Experience. Google dropped a ton of SEO topics and finally launched the perspectives filter.
Talking about the perspectives filter, Google seems to be rolling out the dedicated perspectives section as well. Google revamped its spam report form, said it will drop ping support for Sitemaps, a new INP report is available and Google warned against using AI and LLMs for SEO diagnosis.
We got virtual clothing try on and the Google News Showcase is coming to America. And let's not forget all the Google Analytics Hopla...
