::::I suggested Search Engine Land because it provides a clear explanation of BERT and RankBrain's impact on keyword stuffing, a topic currently lacking in the Wikipedia article.
::::I believe this information is crucial for an update. I'm also happy to supplement it with corroborating sources like Search Engine Journal and Moz. My goal is to improve the article, not promote any specific site. [[User:ASWATHI S Nambiar|ASWATHI S Nambiar]] ([[User talk:ASWATHI S Nambiar|talk]]) 05:05, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Request to Update Outdated Information on Mobile Search & Indexing
 
Hi, I would like to update a section of the article to reflect the latest developments in Google's mobile-first indexing and mobile search strategy.
 
Current Text:
"In 2015, it was reported that Google was developing and promoting mobile search as a key feature within future products. In response, many brands began to take a different approach to their Internet marketing strategies."
 
Proposed Revision:
"Since 2015, Google has prioritized mobile search as a key factor in search rankings, leading to the widespread adoption of mobile-first indexing. In 2020, Google confirmed that all websites would be indexed based on their mobile versions.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2020/03/announcing-mobile-first-indexing-for |title="Announcing mobile-first indexing for the whole web" |website=Google Search Central Blog |date=March 5, 2020 |access-date=March 27, 2025}}</ref> This shift prompted businesses to optimize their websites for mobile performance, focusing on factors such as loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability—metrics now measured by Core Web Vitals.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/core-web-vitals |title="Core Web Vitals & Page Experience" |website=Google Search Central Documentation |access-date=March 27, 2025}}</ref> Furthermore, Google has continued enhancing mobile search with AI-powered features, including AI Overviews and an experimental AI Mode, reshaping the way users interact with search results.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://blog.google/products/search/ai-mode-search/ |title="A new era of Search with AI Overviews and more" |website=Google Blog |date=May 14, 2024 |access-date=March 27, 2025}}</ref>"
 
Reason for Edit:
The current sentence only references 2015 predictions about mobile search, which are outdated.
 
The proposed edit includes factual updates on mobile-first indexing (officially implemented in 2020).
 
It adds relevant, verifiable sources from Google, ensuring accuracy.
 
The revised content provides a more comprehensive overview of how mobile search has evolved.
 
Thank you for reviewing this request!
