Google updated their documentation around Googlebot. Some tips include:

Limit large file access – Googlebot will only crawl the first 15MB of large HTML/text files. Split up very large files if needed to control what content gets indexed.

Use robots.txt for broad access control – Leverage robots.txt to selectively block subfolders rather than blocking all of Googlebot if you only want to restrict portions of your site.

Google changed to show video thumbnails next to results only on the main Google Search results page when the video is the main content of a page.

This week, they are extending this change to search results in Video mode to better connect users with the video content they want.

Google has been showing love for video for the past couple of years, and I expect video to be more critical in 2024

Most of the case studies in Google Search Central are about video content in Google.

Video is the ultimate way to share authentic experiences.

Three tips for debugging technical problems in Google Search

You’re not an SEO if you don’t use Google Search Console.

If there is one tool in the world that can give you all the insights you need for free, it is GSC.

Cora is an excellent tool for this practice, but you can use any tool that measures on-page factors.

Find all your zero uses of a certain factor, keywords, or entities, and add it at least once.

How Google Search sees your site’s content

With the release of site names, I feel adding your site name to your meta title is less important.

I recently disagreed with an SEO agency I was working with who insisted we put the pipe site name in the meta title.

I feel the meta title real estate can be used more effectively where you can use your Brand in the meta title rather than a pipe site name

💥 Support our sponsor: https://magicpr.com 💥 Use code “seovideoshow” for 10% off 💥

Google posted a new blog titled “An update on site names.”

As a reminder, the best way to indicate a preferred site name to Google is to use WebSite structured data, as explained in our site name documentation.

We’ve updated that documentation to encourage more use of the alternate name property.

Sometimes, a preferred site name isn’t available for use.

For example, our system generally uses a different name for two other global sites.

Providing an alternative name using the alternate name property allows our system to consider other options if your preferred choice isn’t.
