Heads-up: one of my eComm clients (not pictured) just brought this to my attention. Google looks to be adding & indexing what looks like auto-tagging parameters from Merchant Center to non-product URLs. I suspect this is a bug as it doesn't make sense – check your rank tracker.

SEO Tip: a reminder that Google Search Console now has a robots.txt testing function within the indexing report. If you click on a page that has been flagged in the report, a panel appears that shows you the exact line for why crawling has been prevented. This is a useful

Whoa, this is massive SEO news. Following the announcement from last week, I'm now seeing AI overviews (with the new display) in US search results by default for non-logged in users. This will be a big leap in AIO exposure, as it doesn't just look like a test.

SEO News: Semrush just launched my most requested feature ever - I’m very happy. The ability to track AI Overviews in Organic Research is here (not just in Position Tracking). This is a big deal for the industry, am able to see some killer insights in there already!

When working with large-scale sites, a question I'm often asked is: "Does our page indexing report look alright to you?" My response to this is generally that it looks fine on the surface, but only further digging into the reasons for pages being excluded can this be determined.

The 'Explore Brands' SERP feature on Google is quite different to other features. Sometimes showing with a 'People also buy from' title, placement within the unit is distinguishable from other organic features. The unit specifically appears to feature websites that don't rank
