Rightly or wrongly, publisher discoverability has been taken care of by search for years. Traffic from Google was and is so valuable – and in recent times, so vast from Discover – that reach has never been a problem. Not until very recently.

In my previous Search Engine Journal article, I argued that organizations need to build Brand Sovereignty by becoming the most authoritative source of truth for AI.

Google’s newly updated crawl budget optimization guide has been updated to be more precise, with emphasis given to the different parts of crawling in order to provide greater detail that is more precise than the previous version of the documentation.

Google’s John Mueller and Martin Splitt discussed what happens when spammers abuse website search functions to create thousands of spammy search pages. They said that Google begins to treat those pages as hacked.
