Google’s new Search Generative Experience seems to be missing one thing that SEOs and reporters often look at: the number of results Google returns for that query. Some use it for a site command to see how many pages Google indexed from a site, which is not a good estimate. Some use it to say […]
Google’s John Mueller went on a bit of a rant on Reddit on the topic of having your internal search result pages crawlable and indexable.

Google is testing placing the map of the business you searched for in the search results area under the snippet(s) for that listing. Google is also testing a slightly updated local panel on the right side. While I believe I covered both these before, I cannot find my coverage (thanks Google Search…). That being said, […]
