Is GEO just SEO by another name? 🏷️ Not quite. While tactics like content structuring overlap, the goal is shifting from winning a blue link to becoming the authoritative source an LLM cites. @tcapper.co.uk explains why low traffic doesn't mean low priority for 2026. mz.cm/4qktQ1T

Google just announced a core update - it's rolling out (and the status dashboard doesn't like me, so just on social for now): www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... #SEO (should I post these here? somewhat uncertain)
Linkedin post: Today we released the November 2024 core update to Google Search. 

This update is designed to continue our work to improve the quality of our search results by showing more content that people find genuinely useful and less content that feels like it was made just to perform well on Search.

We'll update our ranking release history page in the near future, and update it when the rollout is complete. For more information about core updates, please see (our docs)
