Can you believe it is 2024? Did 2023 feel super long for you? The past couple of weeks have been pretty slow on the search news front, but don’t expect it to stay that way.

One constant with search is that it’s always changing. We are always reporting on new changes to search ads across Google, Bing and other platforms. We are always reporting on new changes to organic search with Google and Bing. Expect a lot of this to continue in 2024 but probably even escalate with the rise of the adoption of AI.

So I hope you all had a nice little break. Now buckle up, the new year is here.
