Storm Coming: Next Confirmed Google Search Ranking Algorithm Coming Soon?
It has been almost 12 weeks since the last confirmed Google search ranking algorithm was released. That was the November 2023 reviews update. Before that was the November 2023 core update. Since then, we have had plenty of unconfirmed updates (or ranking bugs), but none have been confirmed. -
Google Business Profile Restaurants Menu Highlights – Make Corrections
Google seems to have launched a new feature for some restaurants to make corrections and updates to the feedback customers leave about their menus and dishes. This feature is called Menu Highlights and you can select an item and submit feedback to Google to let them know if the dish is no longer served or if the name of the dish is not accurate. -

Doogler (Google Dog) Locker Room
