Meta
- Meta Verified is a paid subscription for eligible profiles to establish their presence on Instagram and Facebook.
- Meta Verified comes with
- A verification badge
- Additional Account protection with impersonation monitoring.
- Account support for subscription and account issues.
- Exclusive features. Get stickers on Stories and Reels.
- Meta is rolling out a filter to only include comments from people who purchase this subscription, claiming to combat bots and spammers.
- This creates a division between paying and non-paying users. This financial obstacle undermines the fundamental nature of the platform as an “inclusive space”, particularly in rising markets.
- Search Generative Experience
- Google is changing the way they present information to users, optimizing a “stay on Google only” strategy known as SGE – “Search Generative Experience”
- Pictures in SGE can affect how often people click on them, just like eye-catching thumbnails on YouTube do. A good featured image not only catches the eye but might get more clicks.
- Initial observations show fewer ads on SGE pages compared to old-style search. However, Google has a history of changing things to make more from ads. It is likely this will change and push organic search results further down the page.
- FAQ-Rich Results Decline:
- FAQ-rich results have dropped from 53.94% to 17.04% in Google’s SERPs. These results are now predominantly reserved for established government and health websites.
