Meanwhile the Play Store got smarter too Its latest update delivers way more relevant search results making that app hunt a lot less painful But don’t expect these upgrades to land on every device instantly Google loves a gradual rollout so depending on your brand and model it could be weeks or even months before you see those new features
In the world of advertising Google made major moves that marketing pros are still digesting The big story according to PPC Land is the comprehensive overhaul of Display and Video 360 and Campaign Manager 360 You can say goodbye to dozens of outdated metrics and dimensions These changes also shift how impressions are counted moving from ondownload to begin torender methodology meaning ad data’s about to get a lot more accurate Political advertising rules are tightening too with more transparency obligatory across the EU ahead of upcoming regulations Anyone running campaigns in Europe is now required to submit formal selfdeclarations Google is clearly responding to global pressures for more responsible and transparent digital ad practices
Now here’s the juicy bit about search If you thought SEO was challenging brace yourself Google’s new generative AI search mode is making waves As reported by XpertDigital this AI driven interface could soon overshadow traditional link based searches It learns from your behavior tailors results accordingly and even lets users rope in friends for joint discovery sessions With advertising woven right into the AI stream brands may need to rethink strategy quickly The race is on to optimize for AI citations rather than just old school search rankings and Google is planning to expand this super personalized search beyond English though regulatory issues are keeping the EU out for now Experts say this feature will likely become the dominant way people search online in the next few years

As for security drama ITPro debunked last week’s viral rumors of a massive Gmail hack Google clarified that the threat only targeted accounts specifically linked through a thirdparty integration—and fixed the problem fast No need for global panic but the episode was a reminder of how quick misinformation moves these days
If you’re tracking Google’s social presence business workshops and SEO events are popping up for entrepreneurs at places like Eventbrite PaceLabDC and Successful Business Those events are mostly local and educational but they reveal how Google’s brand continues to shape even small business strategy at the grassroots level No major public appearances from Sundar Pichai or other Google bigwigs—at least nothing beyond the usual keynote video snippets
