A
All
right
welcome
everyone
to
today's
google
search
central
seo
office
hours
hangouts.
My
name
is
john
mueller.
I'm
a
search
advocate
on
the
search
relations
team
here
at
google
in
switzerland
and
part
of
what
I
do
are
these
office
hour
hangouts,
where
people
can
join
in
and
ask
their
questions
around
search
and
we
can
try
to
find
some
answers.
A
bunch
of
questions
were
submitted
already
on
youtube,
so
we
can
go
through
some
of
that,
but
it
looks
like
people
are
already
raising
their
hands
here.
A
So
maybe
we
can
start
with
some
live
questions
again
cool.
Let's
see
andrew,
I
think
you're.
On
top.
B
A
Yes,
yes,
we
at
least
that's
that's
the
way
it
is
at
the
moment.
So
you
never
know
how
these
things
evolve
over
time,
but
at
least
at
the
moment,
it
is
the
case
that
we
continue
to
use
what
you
have
in
your
title
tag
in
your
title
element
as
something
that
we
can
use
for
for
ranking.
It's
not
it's
not
like
something
that
replaces
everything
for
the
website,
but
it
is
a
factor
that
we
use
in
there.
A
Even
if,
when
we
display
the
title
for
your
page,
we
swap
out
maybe
that
one
keyword
that
you
care
about,
we
we
would
still
use
that
for
ranking
all
right.
So
that's
I,
I
think
the
the
one
thing,
the
other
question
that
that
I
always
get
around
the
titles
is,
should
I
change
my
titles
to
be
what
google
has
chosen,
because,
obviously.
A
Better-
and
the
answer
is
no-
these
are
algorithms
that
are
looking
at
things
and
trying
to
to
figure
things
out,
but
you
know
your
site
best.
You
know
your
users
best,
so
I
would
not
blindly
follow
kind
of
what
google's
algorithms
are
doing.
Maybe
there
are
cases
where
google's
algorithms
give
you
good
ideas
and
that's
fantastic,
but
I
would
not
blindly
follow
that.
D
Cool
okay,
paul
hi,
I'm
just
asking
about
the
link
spam
update,
so
we
have
a
medical
site
which
links
to
another
site
to
allow
the
customer
to
book
the
doctors
which
is
on
a
separate
domain.
How
would
you
treat
these
links
under
this
link
spam
update?
Would
you
mark
them
as
sponsored
or
would
or
you
know
we
own,
both
domains
and
but
they're
different?
So
how
would
you
treat
these
as
a
with
the
link.
A
A
If
you
will
part
of
the
website,
I
will
just
use
normal
links
for
that.
So.
E
Yeah
hi,
I
have
a
question
regarding
website
migration
and
currently
we
are
running
a
blog
and
larger
websites.
Both
are
running
on
separate
domains
and
we
want
to
move
the
blog
to
the
bigger
website.
But
since
we
don't
want
to
change
many
things
and
once
and
risk
our
rankings,
we
would
first
adjust
the
current
block
section
and
url
structure
on
the
website
and
then
integrate
all
the
articles
from
the
block
domain
to
the
new
website.
E
So
is
it
better
for
the
rankings
to
move
all
the
block
content
at
once
to
the
new
domain?
After
all,
the
changes
are
done,
or
should
we
maybe
like
move
only
a
few
articles
once
a
month,
because
my
thought
is
that,
with
the
second
approach,
we
won't
really
see
like
a
big
impact
on
the
relaunch
and
yeah.
So
what's
what's
a
better
approach.
A
I
I
think
they
can
both
be
reasonable
approaches.
So
it's
not
something
where
I
would
say
you
need
to
do
it
one
way
or
the
other
in
in
general,
when
it
comes
to
website
migrations
when
you're
moving
from
one
domain
to
another,
I
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
do
it
all
at
once.
A
If
you
can,
but
when
you're
kind
of
merging
or
splitting
websites,
then
that's
that
kind
of
what
all
at
once
advice-
I
I
don't
think
really
applies
so,
especially
when
you're
merging
things
together
when
you're
combining
different
websites,
then
doing
that
incrementally
is
perfectly
fine
doing
that
all
at
once
is
perfectly
fine.
A
A
F
Yes,
hi
john
we've
got
a
google
news,
listed
sports
website
and
we'd
like
to
know
what
we
can
do
to
have
our
newsreels
listed
in
the
google
carousel.
A
I
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
insight
into
the
google
news
side,
so
I
I
can't
give
you
that
kind
of.
Like
one
one
simple
answer:
we
we
did
do
a
blog
post,
I
think,
maybe
two
months
back
or
so
about
google
news
and
kind
of
the
the
whole
inclusion
process.
A
A
That
next
step
is
something
that's
something
where
you
kind
of
have
to
convince
the
algorithms
that
you're
actually
a
fantastic
news
site,
but
there's
a
bit
more
about
that
in
in
the
blog
post.
A
A
G
Hello,
john
hi
yeah.
My
question
is
specifically
around
structured
markups
for
recipes
and
the
reason
why
I'm
asking
this
question
is
because
I'm
seeing
long-form
articles,
for
instance,
listicles
ranking
for
recipe
carousels
and
because
those
pages
have
been
marked
up
as
recipes.
G
A
I
I
think
it's
something
along
those
lines,
so
I
I
saw
your
question
in
in
the
the
youtube
questions
as
well.
Oh.
A
Giuseppe,
okay,
we'll
go
back
to
you
late
in
just
a
second
and
I
I
took
a
look
at
some
of
those
results,
and
that
seems
like
something
that
we
shouldn't
be
showing
rich
results
for,
so,
in
particular,
in
the
rich
results
guidelines
we
we
do
have
that
it
should
be
just
one
item
on
the
page
and
it
shouldn't
be
like
a
list
of
recipes
for
you
to
use
the
recipe
markup.
A
So,
on
the
one
hand,
that's
something
where
I
think
we
could
potentially
take
manual
action
with
the
webspam
team
on
that
when
we
take
manual
action
on
rich
results.
Usually
that
means
we
would
just
not
show
the
rich
results
for
those
sites,
but
because
at
least
the
the
examples
that
you
gave
there
seem
like
something
where
they're
just
a
lot
of
websites
that
are
doing
this.
A
A
Okay,
yeah,
I
I
think
it's
it's
always
awkward
to
to
see
these
kind
of
examples
where,
when
you
look
at
our
guidelines-
and
you
look
at
the
results-
it's
like-
oh,
this
doesn't
really
match,
and
especially
when
there
are
a
lot
of
sites
like
this.
But
this
is
the
kind
of
feedback
that
is
very
useful
for
the
folks
that
work
on
the
algorithms.
I
So
question
about
mobile
friendly
criteria
in
in
the
google
search
console
and
we
have
our
inform
information
sites
with,
let's
say
about
1400
pages
now
about
product
specification
reviews
and
and
so
on,
and
the
first
strange
thing
is
that
only
the
the
20
of
these
pages
are
listed
in
the
valid
mobile
usability
list.
You
know
you
know,
even
if
the
structure
of
the
pages
are
more
or
less
the
same,
because
the
the
structure
is
the
same.
I
Of
course
it
changes
the
product
to
be
described
in
the
real,
so
this
is
frustrating,
but
even
more
strange.
Since
10
days
ago
I
saw
a
major
drop
about
40
percent
in
the
number
of
the
url
that
are
listed
as
mobile
valid
you
know,
and
without
any
any
site
restructuring.
So
what
I?
What
I
did?
I
took
the
the
list
of
10
days
ago
and
took
the
list
yesterday.
I
compared
the
list.
The
the
list
from
yesterday
is
much
much
shorter
and
I
picked
up
some
url
that
are
no
more
appearing
as
valid.
I
A
Thanks
yeah,
I
I
agree.
This
is
kind
of
confusing
what
what
is
happening
there
is
in
search
console
for
these
kind
of
aggregate
reports.
We
show
a
sample
of
the
urls
from
your
website
and
that's
that's
what
we
report
on
there
and
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
we
ignore
the.
A
From
your
website
or
that
they're
they're
bad
in
any
way,
it
doesn't
mean
that
they're,
not
mobile
friendly.
It's
just
that
we
we
didn't
check
them.
So
essentially
you
can
think
of
it.
A
little
bit
like
you
have
1000
urls
on
your
website
and
we
will
double
check
200
of
them
for
for
mobile
friendliness
and
that
number
200
that
can
change
over
time.
So
it
can
happen
that
maybe
one
time
we
only
check
100
urls
to
see
if
they're
mobile
friendly,
that
means
the
the
total
mobile
friendly
count
can
go
down.
A
But
that
doesn't
mean
that
the
number
of
pages
that
are
mobile
friendly
on
your
website
go
down
so
in.
In
short,
what
you
need
to
look
for?
There
is
more
the
number
of
errors
and
kind
of
the
proportion
of
normal
pages
to
errors
that
we
report
in
in
search
console
for
for
those
reports.
So
this
is,
I
think,
specific
for
mobile
friendly
for
the
different
structured
data
reports
also
for
the
amp
report
and
in
in
a
different
way
for
the
decor
web
vitals
as
well.
A
I
Okay
and
if,
if
I
can
just
a
very
small
addition,
because
the
only
thing
we
were
trying
to
do
in
the
last
couple
of
weeks
is
about
using
structured
data,
markup
know
about
product,
but
since
this
is
a
a
an
informative
information
site,
so
with
aggregation
information,
I
know
that
google
prescribes
that
to
to
include
the
the
product
markup.
I
You
need
at
least
to
include
either
a
reviews
or
a
great
rating
or
offers
one
of
the
three
at
least.
Otherwise.
There
are
structure
that
is
not
valid.
No,
and
but
I
know
that
about
reviews,
you
cannot
link
put
links
to
third
party
sites,
so
the
reviews
must
be
on
the
current
sites
and-
and
the
question
is
about
offers-
I
mean-
is
it
allowed
to
include
the
links
to
other
sellers
like
affiliate
links,
amazon
links
or
you
have
to
sell
the
product
in
the
specific
site
to
be
valid.
Yeah.
A
I
think
it
should
be
fine
to
to
include
links
to
to
other
sources
like
that,
because
it's
it's
also
something
that
some
sometimes
sites
are
are
just
set
up.
This
way
that
they're
affiliate
sites,
sometimes
they're,
set
up
in
a
way
that
the
the
shopping
cart
system
is
on
a
separate
site.
A
J
Hey
john
hey,
just
a
couple
of
quick
questions:
actually,
first
one
category
pages
content
at
the
top
or
the
bottom
of
the
page,
especially
where
you've
got
say
quite
a
lot
of
products
having
cuts
at
the
top
or
the
bottom
page.
Will
it
make
a
difference
to
ranking.
A
A
little
bit
of
content,
I
think,
is
always
useful,
but
it's
not
the
case
that
you
need
to
turn
it
into
kind
of
an
article
about
that
kind
of
content.
A
So
a
little
bit
of
content
is
useful
in
the
sense
that
we
have
a
little
bit
more
context
of
the
the
articles
that
you're
listening
there,
so
that
that
always
makes
a
little
bit
of
sense
and
that's
something
that
we
saw
as
being
problematic
in
the
early
days
of
mobile
first
indexing,
for
example,
where
on
desktop,
you
would
have
some
context
about
kind
of
the
type
of
products
that
you
have
in
a
category
page
and
on
mobile.
A
You
often
just
have
a
list
of
products
and
in
in
the
early
days
of
mobile
first
indexing.
That
was
a
bit
of
an
issue,
but
I
I
think
that
has
settled
down
what
what
I
would
try
to
avoid
is
making
it
so
that
you
have
like
a
wikipedia
article
on
the
bottom
of
your
pages
and
really
kind
of
it's
something
where
you
can
provide
a
little
bit
of
context.
A
But
you
don't
need
to
rank
for
every
keyword
in
the
galaxy
with
these
kind
of
category
pages,
because
it,
I
think
it
just
dilutes
the
overall
view
of
those
pages,
because
we
we
try
to
find
them
on
the
one
hand,
for
people
looking
for
that
category
of
products,
but
also
to
find
links
to
the
individual
products.
H
J
We've
got
different,
you
know,
we've
got
different
examples
where
we'll
have
like
a
little
bit
of
content
at
the
top
of
the
page
and
the
rest
at
the
bottom,
or
it's
in
a
read,
more
functionality,
and-
and
generally
you
know
in
the
past,
if
we
seen
rankings
drop
then
okay.
Well,
maybe
if
we
put
the
content,
the
top
of
the
page,
because
they're
associating
the
relevance
more
now
and
they
say
going
top
to
bottom
so
do
will
it
not
make
a
difference?
J
A
Copper,
but
without.
A
I
I
don't
think
there
would
be
a
big
difference.
My
my
hunch
would
be
that
probably
having
the
the
context
at
the
top
makes
it
a
little
bit
easier
for
us
to
pick
up
and
also
things
like
understanding
the
headings
and
things
like
that
with
regards
to
a
page,
probably
makes
it
a
little
bit
easier.
J
A
A
A
Point
it'll
be
like
the
value
of
the
title
tag
is
I
don't
know,
let's
say
two
and
you
have
200
words
in
there.
Then
the
value
of
each
word
is
very
small,
so
you,
you
kind
of
need
to
find
that
balance
and
almost
treat
still
treat
them
as
something
like.
Well,
if
users
see
this,
would
it
encourage
them
to
click
through
or
does
it
just
look
like
you're
just
throwing
keywords
out
there.
J
C
Hi
john
hi
everyone,
so
I
posted
a
couple
of
questions
on
the
community
tab
already.
So
first
question
is
a
quick
one
for
core
web
vitals
data.
Does
data
from
web
web
view
pages
count
towards
it.
A
I
don't
know
I
I
tried
to
look
it
up,
but
I
couldn't
find
anything
there.
There
there's
some
criteria
for
core
web
vitals.
So
so,
basically
you
you
would
need
to
look
up
the
chrome
user
experience
report
data
and
on
web.dev
they
have
some
documentation
on
what
the
requirements
are
for
that
data
to
be
collected.
A
C
Okay,
great
thanks.
So
so
you
also
wouldn't
know
if
the
webview
performance
is
included
as
a
ranking
factor
for
page
experience,
signals
right.
A
I
mean
if
it's,
if
it's
included
in
the
chrome
user
experience
report,
then
it
would
be
included,
but
that's
something
where
it's
I
I
don't
know.
If
that's
taken
into
account
for
the
chrome
user
experience
report
data,
because
we
we
really
need
to
be
sure
that
people
are
opting
in
to
kind
of
giving
this
data
to
google.
And
I
don't
know
if,
with
a
webview,
there
is
kind
of
this
notion
of
even
opting
in
or
being
able
to
opt
in.
C
Right,
thank
you
and
another
question
is
maybe
something
a
bit
too
complicated
for
you
to
give
me
much
help,
but
I'd
like
some
ideas.
So
basically
we
have
a
huge
problem
on
one
of
our
e-commerce
websites.
We
look
at
on
listing
pages,
the
javascript
that's
responsible
for
loading
all
the
listing
products
it
google
bot
cannot
access.
It
cannot
render
it
apparently,
according
to
mobile,
friendly
test
tool
and
search
console.
So
we
get
like
zero
products.
C
Robots
text
doesn't
block
it.
We
check
server
logs.
They
say
that
google
bot
isn't
blocked
and
it
can
access
the
resources.
Other
parts
of
the
page
are
absolutely
fine.
Other
javascript
on
the
website's,
fine,
another,
absolutely
identical
website
we
have
which
is
in
a
different
country.
It's
also
fine.
It
doesn't
have
this
issue
and
the
issue
just
resolved
itself
for
like
one
month
when
developers
didn't
change
anything
and
the
server
folks
also
didn't
change
anything.
So
we
have
no
idea
what's
happening
and
I
don't
really
know
where
else
to
look.
C
We
see
these
pages
being
seen
as
duplicate,
for
example,
or
we
see
less
indexing
that
we
expect.
So
I
I
think
it's
actually
not
rendered
correctly.
A
The
the
assumption
that
it's
really
like
not
being
taken
into
account
by
google,
because
especially
with
the
the
testing
tools
that
we
have,
we,
we
set
them
up
in
a
way
that
they
have
much
stricter
deadlines
with
regards
to
how
quickly
a
server
should
respond,
because
we
want
to
give
you
a
result
as
quickly
as
possible
and
when
it
comes
to
search,
we
we
don't
have
those
kind
of
deadlines,
because
we
can
say
well.
We
will
just
kind
of
like
take
time
to
cache
these
scripts
and
then
execute
them
separately.
A
A
So
I
kind
of
watch
out
for
that,
but
usually
also
when,
when
this
happens,
it
can
be
a
sign
that
things
are
kind
of
on
the
edge
in
the
sense
that
sometimes
it
works
and
sometimes
it
doesn't
work
and
that
I,
I
think,
is
still
something
worth
trying
to
figure
out
what
what
I
would
do,
especially
if
this
is
a
javascript
site.
A
I
would
join
one
of
martin's
sessions
he
he
does
office
hours
specifically
for
javascript-based
websites
and
maybe
submit
one
of
those
urls
to
to
his
question
and
answers
ahead
of
time
so
that
he
can
take
a
look
and
get
his
input
on
that,
because
it
might
be
that
there's
something
small
that
you
can
do
to
improve
kind
of
the
the
whole
process
there.
It
might
be
that
when
he
looks
at
it
he
says.
Oh,
it's,
it's
a
non-issue,
it's
the
testing
tool.
A
That
is
confusing
you,
but
that's
that's
kind
of
the
direction
I
I
would
take
there.
So
I
I
would
first
check
if
it's
really
a
critical
issue
and
then
also
check
in
with
martin
to
see
if
it's
maybe
something
on
the
edge
where
sometimes
it
works.
Sometimes
it
doesn't
work.
C
Okay,
thank
you
so
just
quickly
to
check,
because
we
did
see
when
the
issue
self
resolved
itself,
the
indexes
went
up
and
then,
when
it
went
back
it
they
dropped
so
assuming
their
the
issue
exists.
What
do
you
think
is
what
are
some
of
the
big
reasons
when
google
cannot
access
javascript,
aside
from
being
blocked
with
robots
text
or
being
blocked
by
servers.
A
Yeah,
so
I
think,
probably
what
what
is
the
what
happens?
The
most
there
is
that
it's
more
of
a
general
rendering
speed
issue
in
the
sense
that
maybe
maybe
you
have
something
set
up,
that
the
javascript
or
the
api
responses
are
created
in
the
way
that
they
almost
have
session
ids
associated
with
them,
so
that
we
can't
cache
them
properly
or
anything
where
essentially
rendering
the
page
takes
a
significant
amount
of
resources
extra.
A
So
what
what
I've
done
in
the
past,
when
looking
in
these
kind
of
issues
is
to
look
at
webpagetest.org
or
in
chrome
at
the
waterfall
kind
of
diagram
there
to
see
is
this?
Is
this
a
page
that
has
a
significant
amount
of
javascript
and
other
content?
That
needs
to
be
loaded
or
is
it
something
where
maybe
there
are
just
like
50
requests
in
total?
And
it's
maybe
a
slightly
different
question
then,
but
at
least
in
the
cases
I've
looked
at
it.
A
It
is
more
something
where
they're
almost
like
hundreds
or
two
200
300
400
500,
requests
that
are
required
to
render
a
page,
and
when
you
have
that
many
in
place.
Even
if
we
cache
a
lot
of
those
requests,
it's
it
can
be
a
bit
hit
and
miss.
If
the
timing
works
out
that
we
can
actually
complete
all
of
those
requests
in
time
for
rendering.
L
L
Thank
you.
No
problem,
no
problem.
Thank
you.
Good
morning,
john,
we
have
just
one
question
regarding
to
the
titles
we
built
our
strategy
for
the
meta
title
and
some
weeks
ago,
good
changed.
It
has
already
been
known,
but
the
main
issue
is
for
us
that
our
only
our
brand
name
was
changed,
so
nothing
changed
only
our
brand
name.
It
was
appeared
uppercase
in
the
last
time,
but
now
it's
it
was
replaced
by
domain
and
my
question
is:
is
it
possible
to
ask
for
the
change
of
it
or
we
should
accept.
A
A
I
thought
I
saw
it
there
as
well,
but
anyway,
in
in
the
help
forum,
we
we
have
a
thread
with
feedback
for
for
these
kind
of
issues,
and
the
team
that
is
working
on
titles
is
actively
monitoring
that
and
trying
to
figure
out
what
kind
of
bigger
issues
there
are,
so
they
wouldn't
be
able
to
go
in
and
say
for
individual
websites.
We
will
change
the
titles
based
on
the
feedback,
but
they
do
try
to
recognize
the
general
type
of
problem
and
then
try
to
fix
that
algorithmically.
A
I
I
don't
know
how
quickly,
maybe
maybe
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks
and
things
will
get
better
and
we'll
see
kind
of
how
things
settle
down,
and
it
might
be
that
this
already
fixes
the
issue
that
you're
seeing,
but
if
not,
then
then
feel
free
to
to
make
sure
that
it's
it's
known
to
us.
Okay.
Okay,
thank
you.
Thanks
cool,
okay
and
mustafa.
K
Hi
everyone
again
I'd
like
to
ask
you,
john,
please,
about
a
menu
election
that
we
received,
that
it's
a
bit
confusing
and
the
description
says.
Job
posting
markup
used
on
expired
job
without
divided
through
property
set
in
the
past.
So
basically
it
says
that
the
job
cost
is
expired.
However,
our
structured
data
says
that
it's
still
valid.
K
The
issue
is
when,
when
I
check
the
job
post,
it's
a
user
generated
content.
So
when
I
checked
visual
post,
I
found
that
it's
it's
not
expired.
It's
relatively
new
and
there's
nothing
on
the
page
indicates
that
it's
expired.
So
I
don't
want
to
respond
to
it.
You
know
in
a
defensive
way
that
hey
guys
that
there's
some
human
error
or
something
but
I'd
like
to
do
it
the
correct
way.
So
what
do
you
think
that
I
should
do.
A
I
I
would
double
check
to
see
if
you
can
find
maybe
a
a
bigger
pattern
there,
because
usually
with
with
mana
manual
actions,
we
give
some
example
urls
when
we
can,
but
we
only
do
the
manual
action
when
we
think
that
this
is
something
that
is
more
widespread
across
the
website.
So
the
the
urls
that
we
give
usually
are
more
examples
and
not
a
complete
list
of
of
the
problems.
A
But
I
I
would
also
check
if
there's
a
way
to
to
check
across
your
website,
to
see,
if
I
don't
know
this
expired.
Job
listing
issue
is
something
that
is
maybe
a
potential
issue
on
other
listings,
as
well,
just
to
double
check
that
it's.
K
Right
what
I
say
that
it's
most
likely
only
against
that
single
page,
because
the
traffic
that
comes
organically
from
google
is
rising.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
yesterday
we
received
the
highest
number
of
clicks
ever
from
google
organic.
So
I
guess
that
that's
something
related
to
the
patient
safe,
but
it's
good
note
yeah!
You
can
look
at
it.
To
be
honest,
user-generated
content
is
really
difficult
to
to
control.
I
think
some
yeah
manual
checks
from
our
site
should
be
applied.
A
C
A
Of
like
deferring
kind
of
the
the
time
that
you
need,
but
if
if
when
you
double
check,
you
see,
oh
it's,
it
actually
looks
okay
or
maybe
there's
something
confusing
on
your
pages,
where
you
can
tell
them
it's
like.
Maybe
you
were
confused
or
maybe
users
are
confused.
K
I
see
so
suppose
that
some
manual
action
comes.
You
know
in
relation
to
some
spammy
content.
That's
what
we
fear,
always
because
it's
a
user
related
content
would
it
be
acceptable
to
say
that
yeah
it
was
a
spammy
content,
for
example
by
posted
by
the
user,
we're
going
to
apply
some
checks
ourselves,
but
you
know
that
doesn't
guarantee
a
hundred
percent.
A
Yeah
yeah,
I
think
that's,
that's
perfectly
fine.
With
user
generated
content,
it's
always
a
bit
tricky.
But
if
you
can
explain
to
the
manual
action
team
that
we
you
took
action
on
the
examples
they
gave,
you
improved
your
processes
to
make
sure
that
it
doesn't
happen
in
the
future.
That's
kind
of
what
they're
looking
for.
K
A
K
A
Okay
and
I
have
been
avoiding
the
submitted
questions,
so
if
you
submitted
something
sorry
I'll
go
through
some
of
these
now
and
we
can
do
more
live
questions
later
on
or
maybe
after
the
recording
stops
as
well.
Let's
see,
search
console
shows
a
page
on
a
specific
position.
The
search
results
when
I
look
it
up,
it
doesn't
show
on
that
position.
A
So
this
is
something
that
that
is
super
common
and
it's
sometimes
a
bit
confusing,
especially
in
the
beginning,
when
you
see
that,
but
the
data
in
search
console
is
based
on
what
users
actually
see
in
the
search
results.
So
it's
not
a
theoretical
number
for
the
position,
it's
what
what
was
actually
seen,
and
that
means
that
if,
when
you
check
those
pages-
and
you
see
something
different,
then
maybe
users
just
saw
something
different
than
what
you
saw.
A
So
that
can
be
a
difference
there,
but
also
with
different
countries.
There
are
slightly
different
rankings
with
different
language
settings
or
slightly
different
rankings
with
different
device
types.
There
can
be
different
rankings.
There's
lots
of
things
that
kind
of
play
into
the
rankings,
and
a
lot
of
that
just
means
that
you
can't
always
confirm
one-to-one
exactly
what
is
shown
in
search
console.
A
Usually,
if
I
see
something
really
weird,
what
I
do
is
try
to
drill
down
in
very
specific
settings
in
search
console
to
see
oh
from
this
country,
this
language,
this
kind
of
search,
this
kind
of
device.
They
saw
this
thing
and
then
I
can
try
to
reproduce
that,
but
it's
still
not
always
100
sure,
and
these
things
also
change
over
time.
So
it
can
happen.
But
you
see
something
in
search
console
that
happened
yesterday
or
the
day
before
and
when
you
look
at
it
it's
different
because
it
has
changed.
A
J
Let's
just
ask
sorry
on
that
with
impressions:
if
it's
just
something
new,
does
the
user
physically
have
to
see
the
url
for
that
impression
to
get
counted
or
does
a
page
page
just
have
to
load
with
you
there
like.
A
Yeah,
so
if
it's
on
the
bottom
of
the
search
results
page
that
that
would
still
count
the
the
one
place
where
it's
slightly
different
is
when
there's
a
carousel
of
results
such
as
like
with
the
top
stories
or
with,
I
think
images.
I
don't
know.
If,
if
it's
kind
of
like
off
to
the
side
for
the
carousel,
then
we
would
only
count
that,
when
it's
loaded
into
the
viewport
actually.
D
A
Depends
so
we
we
track
a
a
certain
number
of
entries
per
site
per
day
and
for
for
most
websites,
that's
kind
of
like
enough
to
track
everything
and
for
some
websites
it's
it's
something
where
we
do
have
to
kind
of
do
some
amount
of
sampling
there.
Okay,.
D
A
Then
title
tags:
if
google
is
changing
display
titles
to
other
html
elements,
but
that
doesn't
impact
rankings.
Does
that
mean
that
the
weight
of
the
title
tags
is
a
ranking
factor
will
eventually
decrease?
A
I
mean
eventually
like
who
knows
what
will
actually
happen
in
in
the
long
run,
so
I
I
can't
promise
that
nothing
will
change
there.
In
fact,
almost
certainly
it
will
will
change
at
some
point,
but
I
I
don't
think
there
are
any
plans
to
kind
of
decrease
the
weight
of
title
tags
overall.
A
Maybe
that's
something
that
that
happens
over
time,
but
at
least
not
at
the
moment,
and
not
with
this
specific
title
tag
change
and
does
google
look
at
my
other
websites
in
search
console
to
give
a
quality
score
to
a
certain
websites
or
all
websites
separate
from
each
other?
No,
I
I
don't
think
we
look
at
other
websites
in
your
search
console
account.
A
On
the
one
hand,
this
would
be
really
tricky
because
there
are
lots
of
agencies
that
work
on
a
wide
variety
of
websites
and
just
because
they're
in
one
account
doesn't
really
mean
that
much
so
essentially,
I
I
would
assume
they're
all
treated
as
separate
websites
looking
at
rebranding,
moving
domains,
most
of
the
content,
cms
and
the
website
structure
will
remain
the
same.
The
main
concern
is
we're
going
from
a
dot
com
domain
to
a
dot
code.
A
Uk,
a
majority
of
our
customers
are
based
in
the
uk,
but
we
get
traffic
from
all
over
the
world.
Is
it?
Is
that
a
problem
like
going
to
dot
com
and
dot
co
dot
uk
instead
of
dot
com?
From
our
point
of
view,
that's
that's
perfectly
fine.
So,
with
a
dot,
co,
dot.
Uk
domain,
you
are
essentially
automatically
geo-targeting
the
uk,
but
it
can
be
a
global
website.
So
the
one
thing
that
you
can't
do
with
the
code.uk
domain
is
to
create
a
separate
section
of
your
website.
A
A
You
would
not
be
able
to
do
geotargeting
for
that
part
of
your
website,
because,
essentially
we
say
everything
on
this
domain
is
already
geotargeted
to
the
uk,
so
that's
kind
of
the
the
one
thing
to
watch
out
for
I.
I
would
imagine
that
you
would
see
traffic
fluctuations
for
a
while
when
moving
like
this,
because
just
because
of
the
matter
of
like
going
from
a
generic
domain
to
a
country
code,
specific
domain
or
even
the
other
way
around.
A
I
would
definitely
expect
some
changes
there
with
regards
to,
should
you
use
the
dot-com
instead
of
the
dot
co
dot.
Uk,
I
I
think
from
an
seo
point
of
view,
there's
probably
no
reason
unless
you
plan
on
targeting
other
countries
with
that
same
domain,
but
maybe
there
are
their
reasons
from
from
marketing
point
of
view
or
kind
of,
like
general,
engaging
with
users
point
of
view,
the
from
from
an
seo
point
of
view.
A
A
What
are
your
thoughts
on
large
sites
splitting
into
multiple
cms's
any
concerns
or
anything
to
watch
out
for
we?
We
don't
do
anything
special
with
cms's.
We
we,
we
do
understand
that
they
exist
and
we,
I
think
we
track
them
in
the
sense
that
in
what
is
it
http
archive
there's,
there's
kind
of
a
cms
classification
thing
there,
but
that's
more
a
matter
of
kind
of
like
having
metrics
on
what
what
is
happening
on
the
web
and
not
something
that
we
would
take
into
account
for
ranking
or
for
indexing.
A
So
essentially
having
multiple
cmss
on
the
same
website
is
perfectly
fine,
the
the
things
that
you
would
watch
out
for
with
cmss
in
general.
They
they
apply
there
as
well.
So
if
you
have
a
cms
that
creates
kind
of
crafty
urls,
then
that's
something
you
would
need
to
fix,
but
that's
something
you
would
need
to
fix
anyway.
If
you
use
that
ca
cms,
it's
not
different,
just
because
you
have
multiple
of
these.
On
the
same
side,
my
website
is
a
download
site
and
I
update
the
post
quite
a
bit.
A
A
So
the
the
thing
I
would
watch
out
for
here
is,
first
of
all,
to
make
sure
that
you're
not
systematically
generating
new
download
files
on
your
own,
because
I
I
think
what
is
it
unusual,
download
or
something
uncommon
download
is,
is
the
warning
that
we
show
that's
something
we
show
in
search
console
and
in
in
the
browser
when
we
see
that
a
user
is
downloading,
something
that
looks
like
it
might
be
an
installable
and
that
we
haven't
seen
before
or
that
we've
rarely
rarely
seen
before,
that
we
haven't
been
able
to
check
before
and
that's
something
that
can
happen
if
you
tag
your
downloads,
for
example.
A
So
that's
that's
kind
of
the
thing
that
you
would
need
to
watch
out
for,
if
you're,
creating
kind
of
a
download
site
so
ideally
make
sure
that
you're
passing
on
kind
of
the
original
download
and
not
something
that
you're
putting
together
yourself.
Because
that
way
we
can
kind
of
understand.
Oh
this
is
this:
is
a
file
we've
seen
before
we
know
this
is
safe.
We
don't
have
to
do
anything
with
this
from
from
a
site
owner
point
of
view.
A
A
However,
both
ppc
and
seo
teams
want
to
keep
the
original
url.
So
I
think
the
question
is
kind
of
like
so
who
who
gets
to
keep
the
url,
which
is
more
important.
Ppc
or
seo
I
so
just
from
from
a
personal
point
of
view,
I
I
think
the
seo
side
is
something
where
it
probably
makes
more
sense
to
keep
the
original
url,
because
there's
just
a
lot
more
tied
in
with
regards
to
the
performance
for
that
specific
url.
So
I
think
on
both
sides.
A
There
is
a
matter
of
kind
of
like
tracking.
You
don't
want
to
change
your
tracking.
You
don't
want
to
change
things
like
that,
but
on
the
seo
side,
if
you
were
to
create
a
new
url,
you
essentially
wouldn't
be
able
to
redirect
from
the
old
url,
because
people
want
to
reuse
that
so,
essentially,
you
would
be
starting
off
with
a
completely
fresh
page,
rather
than
kind
of
starting
off
with
that
state
of
whatever
you've
done
so
far.
Kind
of
gets
passed
on.
A
However,
I
don't
know
how
the
ppc
side
does
things
like
kind
of
like
tracking
the
quality
of
urls
and
if
that
would
also
play
a
role
and
if,
like
both
sides,
want
to
keep
the
history
of
the
domain
of
the
url.
So
that's
I
don't
know
I
I
don't
know
everything.
There
is
structured
data
penalty,
a
thing
and
enforced.
A
I
think
we
looked
at
this
before
google
news.
We
looked
at
that
the
webview
page.
We
looked
at
that
we're
facing
an
issue
when
trying
to
call
the
search
console
api
using
a
service
account
authorization.
A
I
I
looked
at
this
question
briefly
beforehand,
but
I
I
don't
know
all
of
the
details
here
and
it
looks
like
you
posted
in
the
help
forum,
so
I
think
that
would
probably
be
the
best
place
there.
I
I
will
send
someone
from
from
the
search
console
side,
also
to
double
check
the
thread
in
the
help
forum
to
see
if
there's
something
that
we
we
can
add
there.
A
Let's
see,
question
about
a
site
link,
I
have
a
global
e-commerce
site.
Recently
google
started
showing
other
countries
in
the
site
link
in
the
search
result.
For
example,
a
uk
website
search
result
is
included
in
the
australian
site
link.
A
I
use
hreflang
properly.
Google
used
to
have
a
site
linked
the
motion
tool,
but
that's
gone
now.
How
do
I
fix
this
yeah?
I
think
the
tool
has
been
gone
for
a
really
long
time
now
and
the
the
main
reason
we
kind
of
dropped.
That
tool
is
because,
from
our
point
of
view,
site
links
are
essentially
normal
links
on
a
page
that
we
would
show
in
the
search
results
nowadays
and
it's
less
a
matter
that
there's
something
kind
of
unique
about
those
site
links.
A
So
that's
something
where,
if,
if
you're
seeing
something
like
the
the
cross,
language
or
cross
country
versions
in
the
sitelink
file
in
the
sitelink
results
that
usually
points
at
something
where
something
with
geotargeting
or
with
hreflang
is
not
working
out
properly.
A
So
I
would
double
check
some
of
that,
just
to
make
sure
that
the
the
hreflang
setup
is
really
working
properly
and
if,
if,
when
you
check
that,
you
see
that
everything
is
set
up
properly
on
your
website
and
google
is
just
confusing
everyone
by
showing
a
different
language
in
the
site.
Link
then
send
me
some
examples.
A
A
A
So
I,
as
far
as
I
know,
I
I
would
try
to
avoid
doing
that
and
instead
do
something
like
pointing
at
your
contact
page
or
your
website's
homepage,
or
a
wikipedia
article
about
your
company
or
anything
like
that,
which
is
something
that
is
more
more
stable
than
the
the
knowledge
graph
id
and
is
it
necessary
for
a
new
website
to
submit
a
cycam
file
and
it's
not
necessary
to
submit
a
sitemap
file,
especially
if
you're,
very
small,
a
new
website.
A
However,
it
does
make
it
easier
for
us
to
recognize
where
there's
new
and
updated
content,
so
I
would
definitely
recommend
doing
that
if,
especially
if
you're
starting
out,
especially
if
you're
using
a
common
cms,
whereas
making
a
sitemap
final,
is
often
just
a
matter
of
a
check
mark.
So
I
I
would
definitely
do
it.
It's
not
a
requirement,
but
it's
it's
a
good
practice
cool,
okay,
we're
kind
of
running
into
the
end
of
time
of
the
session.
A
M
Hi
john
hi,
everyone
hi
just
so
we're
seeing
a
slow
decline
in
mobile
friendly
pages
in
the
mobile
usability
report
in
search
console
we're
also
seeing
like
a
decline
in
in
pages
in
that
are
in
the
core
web
bottles
report
and
also
other
enhancements
like
review,
snippets
and
and
all
of
this
type
of
stuff.
These
are
all
product
pages
I've
noticed
and
over
the
span
of
maybe
a
month
or
a
month
and
a
half
there's
about
a
thousand
pages.
M
I
just
would
like
to
know
like
what
would
be
where
I
should
be
look.
Is
this
a
crawling
issue
potentially
like?
Where
should
I
be
looking
here
like
they're
not
coming
up
as
errors
or
anything
that
are
simply
dropping
out
of
that
report?.
A
Yeah,
I
I
think
we
we
had
pretty
much
the
same
question
right
at
the
beginning,
but
it's
essentially
what
what
is
happening
is
for
these
reports.
We
look
at
a
sample
of
the
urls
from
your
website,
so
it's
it's
something
where
having
fewer
urls
in
these
reports
doesn't
mean
that
the
other
urls
are
bad
or
problematic.
It's
just
we.
A
We
didn't
check
them
so,
especially
for
the
aggregate
reports
which
is
for
for
the
core
web
vitals
to
some
extent
the
amp
report,
the
structured
data
reports,
mobile
friendliness,
I
think
as
well
for
those
reports.
We
we
only
take
a
look
at
a
sample
of
the
things
and
that
sample
can
change
over
time.
So
it
can
happen
that
we
look
at
200
urls
from
your
site.
A
A
So
usually
what
you
would
do
with
these
reports
is
look
more
at
the
the
relationship
between
the
bad
pages
reported.
There
and
the
good
ones
if
these
are
all
reported
as
as
being
okay
without
any
errors,
then
that
means
all
of
the
urls.
We
checked
from
your
site,
they're.
Okay,
so
from
that
point
of
view,
that's
fine!
A
M
A
All
right,
let
me
take
a
break
here
and
pause
the
recording
and
there's
still
some
hands
raised,
so
we
can
get
to
you
all
later
as
well
to
anyone
watching
this
recording.
Thank
you
for
watching.
If
you'd
like
to
join
these
in
the
future
feel
free
to
to
jump
on
in
we
post
them
in
the
calendar
on
the
google
search
central
site,
as
well
as
in
the
community
section
in
on
our
youtube
channel,
so
feel
free
to
drop
questions
in
there.
A
If
I
didn't
get
to
yours
feel
free
to
go
to
the
help
forum
as
well.
Lots
of
experts
are
there
who
are
able
to
help
and
maybe
see
you
in
one
of
the
future
episodes
all
right
and
with
that
I'll
pause,
the
recording.
