Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.
Google has added tips on how to avoid delayed Google Business Profile bulk verification. Google spoke about when to use noindex and canonical tags. Google image and video search is blurring out content instead of removing it, which is caught by SafeSearch. Google local knowledge panels have "often searched together." Most SEOs got started by reading and practicing alone. Finally, I posted part one of my talk with Glenn Gabe; we spoke mostly about Bing Chat, Google Bard, and AI-generated content.

Google's new Europa office in Zurich has this sign pointing to where Googlers can find the parent's room, the game room and even the nap room. Yep, Google still has these perks, although I thought th

- If the pages are noindex, there's really not much to do with them. Also, hreflang needs a bi-directional link, and it would be weird if your production site used hreflang to point at a staging, John Mueller on Twitter
