Google announces Search Central Live Deep Dive Europe 2026 in Barcelona, Sept. 30–Oct. 2

Google released a Search profile badge that site owners can embed to let visitors follow them directly from their website.

Ahrefs tracked 963 domains after AI Overviews rolled out in France and found the most-exposed sites lost 23.1% of click-through rate within nine days.

Google made Search Profiles available to U.S. creators and websites with 10,000 followers, down from an earlier threshold.

Google simplified Search Profiles with a new article design, unified login system for managing multiple profiles, and lowered the follower threshold to 10,000.
