We had some funny bugs this week as both Google Search had some massive indexing issues and Google Ads went offline for a couple of hours. Google has confirmed that between November 30th and December 8th, an update of the local search ranking was carried out in November 2021. It’s Christmas next week and the […]
Google’s John Mueller said again that links to your website are not a prerequisite or a mandatory requirement for ranking in Google search.

Google’s John Mueller said on Twitter that Google’s product experts are not given access to rankings or SEO secrets.
