That would be the perfect gift for a friend of mine.

Mainly here, sometime just checking mastodon. Even deleted the FB app after an other sneaky update which enabled access to the film roll for AI optimized suggestions.
Life is so much easier with fewer apps to check...

Google Search Console graph of a site of the last 90 days, with lines for impressions, clicks and average position.

The drop in impressions is about 20%, but that could be weekly fluctuation. What surprised me the most was the rise of average position from 19 to 9.
I always wondered how % of the impressions where from bots and how it effect the ranking. I think we see a glimpse of it now.

@dylanbeatt.ie is this an example to add to your talks?

Till sunday it was stuck on last updates on 7/8, on monday it jumped to last updates on 7/12 to freeze till today to make a small jump last updates on 7/14.
So it's touch and go as it seems.

We are getting used that some American is naming everything from outside the USA is “Fake”.
Which is confirmation that we are doing the right thing. 😉😁

Yes, we are in the <1 min build time. And the Eleventy % is getting closer to the html-minify % of the total time.

Just under the 2%, there is a nice eggs dashboard by the European Commission.

Detecting scammer site was never so easy. 😂

A other hidden spot is the Belgian beer cafe Olivier. Its location is an old church. But you will not notice this from the outside.

The library was original the main post office and telephone centre of the city. Build 100 years ago, in the Amsterdam school building style. If you have time tomorrow I suggest to pay it a visit. On the top floor is a small coffee corner.

How To Add Merchant Listing Structured Data | Google Search Central  |  Documentation  |  Google for Developers Discover how you can add merchant listing structured data to attract potential buyers while they are searching for items to purchase on Google.

Maybe it's wise to add this kind information to the developers.google.com/search/docs/...

We are thinking about what our next step will be. We can change the value to ‘InStock’ value, but I’ve also found a post on the search console community where to two shops (in the US) have there “InStock” values displayed as “Out of Stock” in the search results. support.google.com/webmasters/t...

I still wonder why google is mapping the "InStoreOnly" mapping to the "out_of_stock" if there is also the local listings option for products in Merchant Center.

(see support.google.com/merchants/an...)

While the Google Search Central documentation about product snippets recommend to use one of ten schema.org options. developers.google.com/search/docs/...

Hello John,

Yesterday i dived into the documentation about the Merchant Center and found that the schema.org ItemAvailability values (10 options) are mapped to just four values in the merchant center data spec. Where the "InStoreOnly" value is mapped the "out_of_stock" value.

I understand your doubt about the product listings. Only we aren't using the shopping tab listing or the merchant center for the products. So there aren't displayed in the product search.

Screenshot of the Introduction to Product structured data of the Google documentation.

The GSC document advice to use the product snippets for product pages where people can't directly purchase the product. For example wedding or evening dresses it's common to try and fit the products in a shop. And online search is very helpful to find the place where the have models you prefer.

@johnmu.com We notice that products, from our site:galajurk.nl, are displayed as “Out of Stock” in the images search results. In the product schema the availability is defined as “InStoreOnly”. In the GSC the product snippets are valid and recently crawled. Any idea?
