Should Google Be More Transparent? [Episode #101]
Update: 2023-11-14
Description
Google has come a long way from where it used to be and is far more communicative about its Google algorithm updates but is it enough? Caitlin Hathaway chimes in on:
*Why Google updates are hard for SEOs
*The case for Google being even more transparent about its algorithm
*Confusion about where Google stands on the topic of AI content
How transparent should Google be about its algorithm? It's a question SEOs (and beyond) have been dealing with for quite some time. While Google has been far more communicative in recent years some argue there is still a long way to go. It's hard for SEOs and content creators to align with Google's expectations if those expectations are a bit vague. While Google does try to offer guidance and examples the devil is always in the details and some SEOs argue there are just not enough details.
