Here’s what you gotta know this week:
→ May Search Ranking Algo Update Rolling in 📊
→ Thread of the Week: Improving Your On-Page SEO ✅
→ The Risks of AI Content ⚠️
→ Breaking the Rules: Doing Syndicated Content Right 👀
→ more, obviously 🗣️

Glenn Gabe analyzes the April Reviews Update and notes that it was unique due to the inclusion of more forms of recommendations and advice, rather than just product reviews.
→ I know we’re still talking about the April update, but there are signs a May Search Ranking Algorithm Update has already started to kick in;
Google Bluechecks? Sure, why not. Verified your profile’s identity through BIMI to receive a checkmark logo to go along w/ your profile image;
→ John Mueller advises avoiding using a "coming back soon" page during revamps / migrations BTW. They can last for a day or so, he says, but aren't ideal in any sort of longer-term sense;
→ Google’s done with passwords— here’s why, and what comes next.

🔌 Speaking of Google.. Interested in working with working with us on SEO? Schedule a call and see what we’ve done for brands like Thrasio, Sotheby’s, Medtronic, and hundreds of others!
As usual, Ahrefs comes up big in the clutch, here's a quote:
1. Mention your keyword in the URL
2. Mention your keyword in the title tag
3. Wrap the visible page title in an H1 tag
4. Use subheadings to improve readability
5. Showcase the author's expertise

AI Insight 🤖
→ yeah, there are 8 gajillion chatbot prompt generator posts out there these days. But this one gives a really good look at how to construct ideal prompts:
marketingletter
→ According to Meta, hackers are capitalizing on ChatGPT’s hype to deliver malware on social media. 10 different malware families have been spread by posing as ChatGPT on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp… Meta flagged 1K+ domains sharing ChatGPT-themed malware
→ This piece- 6 Risks of AI Content- makes some good points. Risks re: Google, Channel, Hallucination, Legality, Mediocrity of content, and "Last-Mover" are identified and unpacked. Thoughtful, interesting piece.

SEO & Syndicated Content 👀
Google warns against using cross-site canonicals for syndication, suggesting that the content should be noindexed instead.  
Despite Google's warnings, Adams insists "there’s no penalty for duplicate content" and that " if Google were to penalise websites for not attributing duplicate content to original publishers, they’d have to penalise almost everyone."
Worth considering.

Social Media Round-up 🤖
→ LinkedIn is inching closer to its first billion, w/ 930M users. Plus, engagement looks good;
TikTok allows advertisers to place ads with premium publisher-produced content, sharing 50% of ad revenue with publishers through "Pulse Premiere."
Meta's new Reels upgrades include customization options and optimized app placement.
→ YouTube updated its partner program re-application policy;
Twitter is letting PSA accounts use API for free again, facing at least 10 lawsuits from vendors for unpaid debts, and has reduced its employee count to about 1K from 7.5K pre-Elon.
And, don’t forget…

In EP26 of This Week in Digital Marketing, we sat down with Patrick Stox to discuss— well, everything. Tune in for some real talk.
