The SEO world is constantly changing, and keeping up with all these changes can be challenging. Keep up-to-date with the latest SEO news with our short recap of the topics below.
Google News
- Google have now added “author” markup best practices to their Google documentation. This is something we need to be aware of when it comes to using structured data to describe the author of a blog post or article on your website. Best practices now include: specifying multiple authors where applicable and including all authors in the structured data markup, using the appropriate author type, and using additional fields.
- Google is simplifying the way it classifies pages, items, and issues in Google Search Console to try and resolve confusion around issues when they are applied to a URL or an item by changing the report format. They are responding to feedback from SEOs to try and remove any confusion about what is working and what isn’t working with your website content, and how your website is performing in Google’s index.
Other Tech News
- Microsoft is testing out a new retail marketplace in the US, called “Buy Direct” – which some believe is intended to compete with Google Shopping. Early users have said that it is more tailored towards user preferences, so you can exclude things from your search.
- Google, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter and others have agreed to a new set of EU legislative rules that encourages them to take more responsibility for their content and reduce abuse. What it boils down to is that the onus is now on these large companies to stop the spread of propaganda and fake news by adding easier ways for their users to report abuse or spam, penalizing sites and transparency for political advertising.
