A few months ago Google made another update to their search engine with the algorithm update, Panda 4.0. With Panda 4.0, Google is once again taking a hard look at your credit union’s website and the content that you are sharing. Knowing how hard it can be to keep up with all the changes Google makes, we hosted a webinar for Credit Unions on the ‘Power of the Panda’. During the webinar we discussed what changes Google has made, how Panda 4.0 affects how your website is ranked, and why Panda 4.0 is a positive for your marketing strategy.
