@YoungbloodJoe Random experiment idea... what if you convert the content to a video and noindex the article?

@kirawontmiss There is still time. Joe can step down do to health issues. Kamala will be president for a short time before Trump comes in.

First time seeing these sections before. They are accordions and just show additional blue links when opened.

[Google Search Central @googlesearchc]

Today we released the August 2024 core update. It continues our work to improve the quality of our search results by showing more content that people find genuinely useful and less content that feels like it was made just to perform well on Search.

In case you're wondering, that test that @randfish had us do on the webinar with @iPullRank where a few hundred people searched "vietnamese restaurant seattle" and clicked on the Google Business profile for a specific business. This is how they rank right now. 🤯

@mblumenthal If someone asked a question, then be prepared for the answer whatever it may be.

It should be a complete factual answer, regardless if it may be offensive or not. It is not up to the AI (or the creators of the AI) to police this aspect, as offensiveness is completely subjective.

@YoungbloodJoe Sorry was unclear... the appeal goes to the appeal team, no issue there. But they won't further investigate the larger abuse problem of the map pins being moved.

[Yan Gilbert @YanGilbertSEO]

@YoungbloodJoe Not sure it will get to the right team that way.

[Yan Gilbert @YanGilbertSEO]

@YoungbloodJoe @JoyanneHawkins @TheSocialDude If its legit document, then Google will accept it. Looking forward to seeing what you've got.

@rustybrick no worries, no apology needed. 👍
Not sure if you feel pressure to answer all of the 'is this new' type tweets but I had found my own answer so there was no need to tag you.

[Yan Gilbert @YanGilbertSEO]

Have not seen this before...ads after the 2nd position:

[Yan Gilbert @YanGilbertSEO]

@rustybrick Thanks for confirming.
Also, its why I didn't ask 'is this new?'
Was just the first time I was seeing it so thought maybe its getting rolled out more.

[Joy Hawkins @JoyanneHawkins]

😱This new spamming technique is BONKERS. I just escalated a thread on the forum, so hopefully Google fixes it soon.

Several businesses with completely different addresses are all now showing up pinned at the same location.

I think there is a good chance this is intentional. Why? Because Google filters out businesses at the same location. So if you want your competitors to disappear, just move their pins to the same location, and they will vanish on Google.

Forum link in reply.

@THEJHirsch42 @JoyanneHawkins @rankingacademy @rustybrick @ClaudiaTomina @DarrenShaw_ @lilyraynyc @StefanSomborac @ajkohn @OriZilbershtein @treycopeland I was alerted to the issue as well but it was resolved a few hours later overnight before I was able to see for myself.
