It is now possible to customize the so-called profile cards - information boxes on the right-hand side next to the search results about yourself. According to Search Engine Land, this update has only gone live in India so far. Google usually takes information about certain people from Wikipedia and also refers to this source. If this is expanded to include all people, employees can also present themselves in this way or generally provide people with information about themselves directly. However, it remains to be seen how it will look for people with the same name, for example, and how Google will decide which profile card to display.

Now, however, they rcs data iran should make up a small part of the crawling and evaluation of websites, which was not the case before. However, Google employees John Müller and Gary Illyes believe that no major changes can be expected as a result. John Müller added that it is very possible that this update will not mean any change for many pages. At the same time, since March 1st, other link attributes have also been taken into account (as we reported ).


The first websites were converted to mobile-first indexing back in 2018. This meant that the mobile version of the website was prioritized when crawling.

This should be a hint for all website operators to finally take care of the mobile display of their own website if they have not already done so. The good functionality of the website on mobile devices is becoming increasingly important, and not just from a usability point of view. Especially if Google and its crawler also have problems with the mobile web version of a website, this could affect the ranking of the respective websit
