This week, we covered that Google Search has been super volatile all week long. Google’s John Mueller said they don’t really have a bad title black filter in search. It seems a lot of businesses are complaining that Google reviews are disappearing. Google also updated its review policies, so maybe it is related. Google Search Console rolled out the new AI-powered configuration tool. Google said the social channels and branded queries filter is still coming. Google and Bing call markdown files messy and cause unnecessary crawl load. Google highly discourages force indexing pages to Search. Google launched new links for AI Overviews and AI Mode. Google AI Mode now works in 53 new languages. Google said it is a huge engineering project to let sites opt out of showing in AI Overviews. Google AI Overviews clicks are shifting from organic clicks to shopping ad clicks. Google is losing a knowledge graph source. Google Ads may be auto enabling paused keywords, well, only for automatically paused keywords. Google Ads now shows PMax placement report details. Google Ads can calculate your conversion value for new customers. Google AdSense anchor and vignette ads bug won’t let you close the ads. That was the search news this week at the Search Engine Roundtable.
