Daily Search Forum Recap: May 11, 2023 -

Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.

I posted my thoughts on the all-new Google Search Generative Experience, and it might be worth a read. Also, Google said it is releasing a new helpful content system update that rewards “hidden gems.” Google is rolling out that new “Perspectives” feature. Google has an all-new AI-generated image label. Google has “about this image” now, which is a lot like “about this result.” Google said INP will replace FID for Core Web Vitals in March 2024.
