This week I covered a nice number of topics including the Google Maverick update kind of slowing down. Google’s John Mueller explained a bit how maybe Google would determine if a site is something searchers would like, it was super interesting. Google also said for YMYL and medical sites, you really must have experts write or review the content. Google’s Ryan Moulton said he knows everything about the search algorithms and if anything was in there designed to do political bias, he would resign. Google may be having some indexing issues with news publishers. A Google bug stopped some searchers from seeing the full set of search results, it was fixed a few days later. Google launched in image search, swipe to view and is adding AMP on image results to the Google Search Console performance report. Google ignores redirect loops of course. Google is busy adding new features and migrating old features to Google Search Console still. Google may show featured snippets from YouTube descriptions. Google said they restored the broken reviews in Google Local. Google said the short names suspension bug should be fixed soon, but is Google confused? Google launched “get a quote” button in the local business knowledge panel. Google is testing new tabs for branded local packs and more carousel interacted. Google launched a developer document on the basics of JavaScript SEO. Google author knowledge panels may now show scholar information. Bing was invited to present at Google’s own Webmaster Conferences. Google is launching the #AskGoogleWebmasters video series really soon. That was this past week in search at the Search Engine Roundtable.
