Search Engine Roundtable Stories:
- Google Search Console API Is Delayed
For the past few days or so it seems that the Google Search Console API has been delayed. There has been complaints about this on social media and in the Google forums. It is not uncommon for Search Console to run into these delays but I see a lot of recent complaints about this, so I am reporting on it. - Google Ads New Consumer Finance Policy Too Overreaching Says Advertiser
A couple of weeks ago, Google introduced a new Google Ads policy saying it won’t allow personalization of ads for consumer finance in the United States or Canada. Well, it seems like that policy may be too overreaching and causing headaches for advertisers not even in the consumer finance space. - Microsoft To Bring Deep Search To Bing Chat / Copilot But It Is Way Too Slow Now
Microsoft is working to bring its new Deep Search feature to Copilot, formerly known as Bing Chat. The issue is, (1) Deep Search is only available to a limited number of searchers in Bing Search and (2) it is way too slow to bring it to a chat interface. - Google Business Profile Suspension Emails Add Appeal Option
Google has added to the new Google Business Profile suspension emails the ability to make an appeal request, right from the email. The latest update was that the emails showed details on why your business was suspended but now Google gives you a blue appeals button to fight back on that suspension. - Google Local Notice When Review Posting Is Turned Off
At the beginning of this year we covered the updated posting restrictions guidelines for Google Maps where Google said they can turn off posting for a particular place. Well, we are now seeing an example of that in action, where Google is testing the reviewer that posting has been turned off. - Google NYC Chanukah Party For Jewglers
Here are some photos from the Google office in New York City of the chanukah party they had for Jewglers. Jewglers are Jewish Googlers. I found this photo on Instagram.
