"Google Search Console reporting seems off since last week. Plus, third party Google tracking tools reporting is mostly broken since the Google 100 search results parameter going away. Google did not add AI Overview tracking in Search Console, that was fake news. Structured data does not help with AI visibility, not yet at least. FTC is investigating Google over ad pricing and terms."
"Indeed. As I said on the dumpster fire that is Linkedin... "Can't wait to blow some of the stupid AI search myths around chunking, information gain and various other ignorant misinterpretations out of the water. All the nonsense is making for some bri, Dawn Anderson on Bluesky Made it to no.1 in the App Store. Congrats to the @GeminiApp team for all their hard work, and this is just the start, so much more to come!, Demis Hassabis on X"
Google Search Console data has shown unexpected anomalies since last week, with particular declines in desktop impressions. Third‑party Google tracking tools report widespread breakage tied to the removal of the Google 100 search results parameter. Claims that Google added AI Overview tracking to Search Console were false. Structured data currently does not provide measurable AI visibility benefits. The FTC is investigating Google over advertising pricing and contract terms. Bing Places is releasing an update. Social posts note UI icon color changes, GeminiApp reaching number one in the App Store, advertiser warnings about auction insights, and YouTube copyright claim overview findings.
