Google released new AdWords reports to provide
insight into device usage along the conversion path.
• Devices -- see how much cross-device activity
is happening in your AdWords account.
• Assisting Devices -- inform your device bid
adjustments by learning how often different
devices assisted conversions on other devices.
• Device Paths -- examine the top conversion
paths for your customers using two or more
devices.
Understanding cross-device attribution will help us
optimize our attribution model beyond last-click and
adjust device bid modifiers.

Google expands Store Visits reporting to include the Google Display
Network (GDN).
• When store visits and offline impact are captured and factored back into
return on ad spend, the value of that spend goes way up — from 2X to well
over 10X, according to Google data.
• Google now says it can deliver 99% accuracy at 200 million stores
globally.
• Google uses maps and a sophisticated place-mapping approach they call
“semantic location,” to accurately understand where devices are in the real
world at any given time. It then maps ad exposures to store visits.
Store Visits are a massive opportunity for Google to increase revenue and
for brands that rely on brick and mortar visits to improve measurement.

YouTube TrueView discovery Ads
9| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
TrueView discovery ads (formerly known as TrueView in-
display) are a new ad format offering access to full
inventory coverage across the YouTube app.
• Ads can appear in mobile search results (a first for
YouTube ad formats).
• On average, users view one additional video from your
brand within 24 hours of watching your TrueView
discovery ad.
• TrueView discovery ads drive 5x more clicks on
advertiser-provided CTAs than TrueView in-stream.
• They’re also great for promoting longer form content.
Great opportunity to drive awareness and action in moments
where a user’s mobile or tablet device is their preferred or only
form of video content delivery.

Google releases Responsive Display Ads
11| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
• Responsive ads automatically adjust their size,
appearance, and format to fit just about any
available ad space.
• With responsive ads, you can create one ad that
fits almost any ad space.
• Considerably more control of a brand’s messaging
and considerably more room for content.
• Advertisers can select and upload an image, logo,
and an advertiser name for complete brand control.
The updates to responsive ads benefit everyone – the cost
of creating the assets is nearly eliminated, management is
streamlined. The barrier for entry has been lowered while
the product has improved.

YouTube trying to move ad opportunities beyond general branding
16| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
• TrueView for action is a new format that encourages
users to take any online action that’s meaningful for
your business.
• Designed to move YouTube advertising beyond
general branding.
• Advertisers can display a call-to-action banner at the
base of a video both during and at the end of the video.
• YouTube is currently still testing the format and fine-
tuning both reporting and user experience with a global
product release in the future the primary goal.
Google has struggled to get brands to embrace YouTube
advertising. This effort will help, but it’s no silver bullet.

Save and watch YouTube videos offline with YouTube Go
18| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
• YouTube Go was announced in India where the app will launch
initially for users to test, before a broader rollout at a later date.
• YouTube Go lets users save videos for offline viewing and allows
sharing of videos with nearby users over Bluetooth.
• Built for the next generation of users to enjoy the power of
YouTube. Maximize your fun without burning up your data.
• The app will also make use of YouTube's Smart Offline feature,
which automatically downloads videos overnight so that they can
be watched at a later time in areas without a data connection
This is great for users, but it is unknown how Google will monetize if the
app takes off. Embed adverts in the videos themselves? TBD…

Is interest targeting the future of marketing?
21| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
• Interest targeting uses data from shared posts on a
user’s timeline, ads they have clicked on, pages they
like, apps they use and other activities they
participate in on and off of the platforms.
• Greater level of control, transparency and
customization for brands.
• Interest targeting through social platforms has
become the most hyper-granule form of targeting
audiences.
We believe Google is also headed in this exact direction.
Utilizing audience data is a win-win – advertisers get more
insight / ROI while publishers increase revenue.

Pinterest finally adds robust audience targeting
23| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
• Pinterest now allows advertisers to target people who
have visited a brand’s website, used its mobile app or
shared their email addresses with a brand.
• Pinterest also created a way for brands to advertise to
people who click on or save brand-related pins that are
posted to Pinterest.
• “Brand-related pins” are those that link to a brand-
specified website or is posted by the brand.
• For pins that don’t fit either criteria, they use text- and
image-recognition to identify if a pin includes a brand
or is “highly related” to other brand pins.
• 75% of the pins on Pinterest are brand-related.
Advertising opportunities are starting to catchup to the rest of
the playing field. Leveraging audience data is big.

According to Pinterest, people who have
interacted with a brand-related pin within
the past 30 days are 2.2x more likely to
buy a product from that brand than people
who don’t interact with a pin related to that
brand.

1 Year later: IG’s direct-response ads have yet to take off
25| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
• Direct-response ads on Instagram hit one year ago, and
advertisers have yet to switch over.
• Facebook’s DR ads generate 10x more clicks to
brand sites, for one-fifth of the price.
• An IG study from Nov ‘15 found that 60% of users admit
to learning about products and services during time
spent on the app, and 75% do something regarding
these products after seeing a post.
• Between last-click attribution and IG housed through
mobile, patterns may not change anytime soon
IG fits specific campaign tactics, but should be approached with
reduced expectation and budget.

Penguin 4.0 is a real-time search algorithm
28| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
Penguin is a filter designed to capture sites that are spamming
Google’s search results in ways that Google’s regular spamming
systems might not detect.
Penguin 4.0 is significant in that the algorithm is real-time
making 4.0 the final confirmed update to Penguin.
Why is real-time significant? Since 2012, Penguin has operated on
a periodic basis. The filter would catch spammy sites they would
remain penalized until the Penguin update. The last Penguin
update (3.0) was Oct 17th, 2014, meaning any sites hit by 3.0 have
waited nearly two years for the chance to be free.
This hasn’t impacted any of our current clients, but it’s good to know
that if a client should get flagged, according to Google, we should be
able to free ourselves of penalty much more quickly.
P E N G U I N 4 . 0 G O E S R E A L - T I M E
“With this change,
Penguin’s data is
refreshed in real
time, so changes will
be visible much
faster, typically taking
effect shortly after we
recrawl and reindex
a page.”

Google runs Fashion Week experiment: Shop the Look
30| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
• A Fashion Week experiment which enabled people to shop products
directly from curated, inspirational images on google.com.
• Google will also roll out a new apparel and home decor experience
for retail advertisers called shop the look.
• Currently testing the experience in the US on mobile devices.
• How it works:
“If you search for “cocktail attire”, you could see an image of a popular
fashion blogger wearing a black cocktail dress, heels and sunglasses. You
can shop those exact (or visually similar) products featured in the image by
tapping through and exploring the relevant products shown in the form of
Shopping ads.”
An exciting new product for apparel and home décor brands that rely on or
benefit from visual inspiration.

Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) deliver SERP innovations
32| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
• Allows publishers to feed Google breaking content in real time
that is related to live sports, elections and breaking news.
• Currently a pilot program limited to select publishers.
• By using AMP, Google can surface content more quickly than
is currently possible with a standard crawl on your website.
• Content must be published using Accelerated Mobile Pages
(AMP).
• AMP pages must include structured data markup for the
content itself.
• Content must be pushed to Google using an Atom XML feed.
Google appears to be all-in on AMP pages and this is likely the first of
many SERP updates that will be the result of AMP.

33| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
• As of August 31st, Google eliminated the mobile-friendly label
from mobile SERPs.
• Mobile-friendly pages are now standard.
• The removal was an effort to declutter mobile search results:
• 85% of all pages in the mobile search results
now meet Google’s mobile-friendly criteria.
• It is also possible that the rise of Accelerated Mobile Pages
(AMP) has Google wanting to clear up SERP space for the
AMP designation.
Google made efficient work of forcing companies to create mobile-
optimized pages. Removing the designation means Google sees that
companies and consumers are trained. Next up, could Google solve
mobile page speed issues for both consumers and brands via AMP?

New local algorithm update: “Possum”
36| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
Local SEO Guide is calling this the “near me” update, as they’ve monitored several shifts in brand-
related “near me” queries (e.g. Apple store near me).
Whatever you call it, the update seems to only impact rankings in the 3-pack and Local Finder (AKA
the local results or Google Maps results). The five early takeaways from Joy Hawkins at Search
Engine Land are:
1. Businesses that fall outside of the physical city limits saw a huge spike in ranking.
2. Google is now filtering based on address and affiliation.
3. The physical location of the searcher is more important than it was before.
4. Search results vary more based on slight variations of the keyword searched.
5. The local filter seems to be running more independently from the organic filter.
Read through the reference articles if this is relevant to your business to familiarize yourself with the updates.
Let your RC Team know if you have questions or want to engage with us to support an audit or strategy.

Angie’s List has removed their paywall.
38| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
For as long as anyone can remember, Angie’s list has used
their paywall as a way to ensure reviews were “meaty” and
valuable. Now, with a down tick in stock prices they have been
force to start knocking down that wall.
• Big impact to the home services market: Plumbing, Landscaping,
HVAC, Roofing, Concrete, etc...
• New content will rank well because Angie’s List is a trusted site.
Think about your reviews (negative and positive) showing on SERPs.
• Review monitoring tools can’t pull in Angie’s List reviews.
• They will likely attempt expansion into other markets beyond home
services, in an effort to increase page views and thus, revenue.
Taking advantage is low on your competitor’s radar. Old AL-
strategies will not be as fruitful going forward.

review is written for a location.
• Allows businesses monitoring their listing(s) via
a dashboard to be actively notified of status
changes, data updates and incoming reviews
without having to make a call to Google.
• Unfortunately the Insights API is missing from
this update.
With the number of GMB features added each month
increasing, it’s good to see Google staying on top of
updating the GMB API so that business owners can
stay on top of reviews and listing updates in real-time.

Google updates local reviews schema guidelines
43| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
While there are many updates that can be
viewed here, the key takeaway was markup of
third-party reviews:
• You should not markup reviews syndicated
by third-party services if they are not
“directly produced by your site.”
• This may impact a large number of
websites that have implemented
local reviews markup.
Google loves rule-followers. There were multiple
updates, so make a point of ensuring your schema
adheres to the new guidelines.

The biggest complaint we encounter when taking
over new analytics accounts is a lack of insight
from reporting. Most analytics providers are
aware of this and Google is no different. Using
machine intelligence to find critical insights
among the thousands of metrics and dimensions,
Google has created a stopgap specifically for
mobile through the Google Analytics mobile app.
• Combs through data to uncover insights.
• Offers tips on how to improve your GA data.
• Gets smarter over time by reacting to your
feedback and how you use it.

48| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
Changes in GA between Classic Analytics and
Enhanced Analytics may be impacting organic
measurement:
• When a session times out after 30 minutes in
Universal Analytics, if the visitor resumes activity
on your website, he/she appears to come from
the referral channel, with your domain being the
source
• Attribution issues are easily corrected by adding
your domain to the referral exclusion list.
Ensuring accurate measurement should be a priority for
any business that is online. By taking small actions, we
are able to provide our clients with accurate data in GA.

MOZ lays off 28% of staff to refocus on search
52| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
• On August 17th, Moz announced they were going to
“double down on search”.
• The strategic change meant letting go of 28% of
their staff.
• All the staff cuts were related to the dissolution of
two previously core product offerings with less of a
search focus: Moz Content and Followerwonk.
• Moz hopes the refocus will help them build better
and greater search tools, which they were founded
on and continue to be most well-known for.
Their search products have always been far better than
their social products. It’s disappointing to see a search
company have to cut staff, but it is probably for the best.

Recent court ruling a ‘fatal blow’ to consumer protections
56| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
• Personal data used by companies like Google and Facebook have historically
been subject to oversight by the Federal Trade Commission, the government's
top privacy watchdog.
• A recent ruling by the FTC is putting the agency’s power to protect consumers
in jeopardy. Companies effectively avoid consumer protection
regulations simply by setting up or buying a phone or Internet service
provider as they are subject to different limitations.
• This could allow any company to evade FTC oversight simply by
launching or buying a small telecom service.
• Google already benefits from this line of reasoning because it
operates Google Fiber.
• A company such as Facebook, whose goal is to connect a billion
additional people to the Internet, could acquire its own broadband
provider and claim common-carrier status.

• The commission said the new EU-wide rules would

• A draft version of the legislative proposal requires
member states to grant publishers additional rights
over the online use of their articles, which would last
for 20 years after publication of the articles.

Google Takes on Uber With New Ride-Share Service
60| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y
• Google is launching a ride-sharing service to help San Francisco
commuters join carpools.
• Google began a pilot program around its California headquarters in May
that enables several thousand area workers at specific firms to use the
Waze app to connect with fellow commuters. It plans to open the program
to all San Francisco-area Waze users this fall.
• Waze wants to connect riders with drivers who are already headed in the
same direction.
• Google doesn’t believe Waze drivers’ income is taxable because it
considers payments through its service effectively as money for gas.
• Unlike Uber, Google doesn’t plan to vet drivers for a Waze service, instead
relying on user reviews to weed out problem drivers, the person said.

  • 7. 7| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y Google expands Store Visits reporting to include the Google Display Network (GDN). • When store visits and offline impact are captured and factored back into return on ad spend, the value of that spend goes way up — from 2X to well over 10X, according to Google data. • Google now says it can deliver 99% accuracy at 200 million stores globally. • Google uses maps and a sophisticated place-mapping approach they call “semantic location,” to accurately understand where devices are in the real world at any given time. It then maps ad exposures to store visits. Store Visits are a massive opportunity for Google to increase revenue and for brands that rely on brick and mortar visits to improve measurement.

  • 21. 21| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y • Interest targeting uses data from shared posts on a user’s timeline, ads they have clicked on, pages they like, apps they use and other activities they participate in on and off of the platforms. • Greater level of control, transparency and customization for brands. • Interest targeting through social platforms has become the most hyper-granule form of targeting audiences. We believe Google is also headed in this exact direction. Utilizing audience data is a win-win – advertisers get more insight / ROI while publishers increase revenue.

Advertising opportunities are starting to catchup to the rest of the playing field. Leveraging audience data is big.

  • 27. 27| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y Penguin 4.0 is a real-time search algorithm
  • 28. 28| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y Penguin is a filter designed to capture sites that are spamming Google’s search results in ways that Google’s regular spamming systems might not detect. Penguin 4.0 is significant in that the algorithm is real-time making 4.0 the final confirmed update to Penguin. Why is real-time significant? Since 2012, Penguin has operated on a periodic basis. The filter would catch spammy sites they would remain penalized until the Penguin update. The last Penguin update (3.0) was Oct 17th, 2014, meaning any sites hit by 3.0 have waited nearly two years for the chance to be free. This hasn’t impacted any of our current clients, but it’s good to know that if a client should get flagged, according to Google, we should be able to free ourselves of penalty much more quickly. P E N G U I N 4 . 0 G O E S R E A L - T I M E “With this change, Penguin’s data is refreshed in real time, so changes will be visible much faster, typically taking effect shortly after we recrawl and reindex a page.” - Google Webmasters Blog

Google made efficient work of forcing companies to create mobile- optimized pages. Removing the designation means Google sees that companies and consumers are trained. Next up, could Google solve mobile page speed issues for both consumers and brands via AMP? G O O G L E R E M O V E S M O B I L E - F R I E N D L Y L A B E L S E A R C H R E S U L T S

  • 36. 36| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y Local SEO Guide is calling this the “near me” update, as they’ve monitored several shifts in brand- related “near me” queries (e.g. Apple store near me). Whatever you call it, the update seems to only impact rankings in the 3-pack and Local Finder (AKA the local results or Google Maps results). The five early takeaways from Joy Hawkins at Search Engine Land are: 1. Businesses that fall outside of the physical city limits saw a huge spike in ranking. 2. Google is now filtering based on address and affiliation. 3. The physical location of the searcher is more important than it was before. 4. Search results vary more based on slight variations of the keyword searched. 5. The local filter seems to be running more independently from the organic filter. Read through the reference articles if this is relevant to your business to familiarize yourself with the updates.

Think about your reviews (negative and positive) showing on SERPs. • Review monitoring tools can’t pull in Angie’s List reviews. • They will likely attempt expansion into other markets beyond home services, in an effort to increase page views and thus, revenue.

  • 43. 43| C O N F I D E N T I A L & P R O P R I E T A R Y While there are many updates that can be viewed here, the key takeaway was markup of third-party reviews: • You should not markup reviews syndicated by third-party services if they are not “directly produced by your site.” • This may impact a large number of websites that have implemented local reviews markup. Google loves rule-followers. There were multiple updates, so make a point of ensuring your schema adheres to the new guidelines.
