This week is a quickie because of the holiday weekend, Merry Christmas by the way! We covered how Google made two updates to the Google Search Console. First the data in Search Analytics may have changed as they updated their analysis methods for website logs. They also added data for apps to see clicks and impressions on app install buttons in the mobile results. Google is now showing AMP related errors in the structured data testing tool. Google Photos does full page app install interstitial ads and might be considered mobile friendly. Google is showing real time featured snippets. Google is testing more schema to update your local business data in the knowledge graph panel. Google’s No Country Redirect feature isn’t working for some. Google released the knowledge graph API to query. Google’s Festivus pole is a year round easter egg. Check out Google’s Happy Holidays logos. Merry Christmas and that was the past week in search at the Search Engine Roundtable.
