Video: Google Killed Tracking Tools, Impressions Dive, Ads Bug Overwhelms & AI Summaries Over Links
"The third-party Google Search tracking tools are going through a rough patch right now. Google Search Console was reporting massive impression drops since the 100-parameter results were removed. Google somewhat commented on that Search Console impressions dip. A Google Search bug led to the search results being overwhelmed by search ads. Bing is mixing ads into the organic image search results."
"Google said searchers want AI summaries over links to publishers. This comes from the Penske Google lawsuit over AI Overviews. Google is testing AI-generated search snippet summaries. Google is testing AI overviews with citation cards at the bottom. Chrome is getting Google AI Mode. Google has this question fringe score. Google Search Console has a new achievements report. Google Discover is officially rolling out the follow feature and more social posts."

Google indicated searchers prefer AI-generated summaries over publisher links and is testing AI-generated search snippets and AI overviews with citation cards. Discover is rolling out follow and more social posts, and Search Console added an achievements report. Merchant Center suspensions may require video verification, the Business API Q&A feature will be removed, Bing is testing a sticky header, and OpenAI updated ChatGPT search.
