If we migrated the googlebot.json file to a new location with a 301 redirect, would that break your fetches? Or the fetcher would just follow the redirect

TIL Wikipedia moved to shared desktop/mobile website URL pattern, no more m-dot URLs.
If you're curious about the behind-the-scenes work (site migrations! everybody's favorite, right?!):

The higher the urgency, and the stronger the push of new acronyms, the more likely they're just making spam and scamming.

I have a question about how Google displays site names and favicons in search results. Please see my post on LinkedIn.

Is the document I pointed to wrong? Or is the help page just not updated yet?🤔
@johnmu.com Is AI Mode traffic now included in Search Console? (It wasn't before.)

@johnmu.com AI Overviews and AI Mode use (customised) Gemini as their internal LLM. But they are not affected by Google-Extended because they're not Gemini Apps. Is my understanding correct?

Google's AI crawler for Gemini, Google-Extended, does render JavaScript using the shared Web Rendering Service @divingfor.fun confirmed to @suzukik.bsky.social www.seroundtable.com/googles-ai-c... hat tip @glenngabe.bsky.social

How accurate and reliable is "similar web" data? I ask because we have some data points from Cloudflare that are significantly different and Cloudflare data is pretty bullet proof to me.
The AI crawler that Gemini uses does render JavaScript (via a rendering service that's shared across Googlebot and Gemini). And that's an advantage over other AI chatbots (for now at least): video of @suzukik.bsky.social and @divingfor.fun

Wrong question to stop asking: “but iS tHiS a rAnkIng fActOR?” ☠️
Right question to start asking: “How is this going to help my site to give a best in class experience to better fulfill audience search journey and needs while maximizing its findability and visibility?” 🚀

Thank you for responding!
@johnmu.com When Google's LLMs like Gemini use search results for RAG, do those search results also include information from the Knowledge Graph and Shopping Graph?
It's always great to catch up with you. Thanks for making time for the interview!
Hi @lidia-infante.com, Missed you too! Wish you could have been there.🥺

I can't find the regex filter in my Search Console anymore. It's missing. Is it the same for you?

Your Google Business Profile photos suck! 👎
Big brands can hire a photographer to take photos for their GBP, but smaller brands don’t have that kind of budget - which is why we invited pro photographer @marccharette.com to help you capture your business by yourself.
#SEO
@johnmu.com The help page says "Only URLs with known instances of this issue are queued for recrawling, not the whole site." I understand that to mean the "Validate Fix" option makes recrawling happen faster. Am I getting that wrong?
