Just like on every Christmas, John Mueller from Google dials up to the internet and logs on to the support channels on New Years and helps out folks in the Google Webmaster support and social media channels. He has done it year after year on New Years and this year, on the first day of 2020, is no different.

He did last year also, and has done it year after year prior to that.

For webmasters, SEOs, site owners, etc to be posting concerns on New Years – they have to be in some distress. John gets that and he does what he can to respond to those questions during those times of distress.

He also posted responses on Twitter:

Thank you John and the whole Google team for what you all do for the SEO and webmaster community. We appreciate it and happy, healthy and successful 2020!
