Daily Search Forum Recap: June 15, 2022 -

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.

Google Search Console updated its reports to just show valid or invalid errors, to make things easier – this is just a reporting change. Google’s product reviews update is still English only, it has not rolled out more globally. Google also posted a short video on if algorithm updates are global. Google continues to test a scrollable side panel. Google turned on messaging in local panels for some business profiles automatically. Google’s things to know box is showing for 1% of queries says RankRanger.
