In this week’s digital news to watch, our Performance Marketing Manager Tom and Associate Director of SEO Jamie, discuss how Google is migrating sites over to their mobile-first indexing, how 40% of SEO recommended by SEO specialists is actually used, how Google Ads are rolling out monthly spending limits, Google allowing all businesses to use their Customer Match feature within Ads, and finally what new Ad types Linkedin is launching.
Google Mobile-First Indexing Still Not 100% Yet
Google still migrating sites over to mobile-first indexing. This process started nearly five years ago now and is still ongoing! A tweet from John Mueller indicates that there’s been a few issues with the process which has delayed things slightly, but I’d still expect this to be wrapped up by the end of the summer.
SEO specialists say only 40% of recommendations are used
The majority of SEO specialists see less than 40% of their recommendations implemented. Kristina Azarenko carried out a Twitter poll which revealed that SEO specialists are not seeing their recommendations being implemented. 82% of respondents see less than 70% implemented.
These results highlight that SEO recommendations need to be presented in a way that resonates with everyone within an organisation.
