SEO News Highlights - March 2023 Updates

Normally I research SEO industry trends each week and write my News Highlights at the end of the month, but things have been pretty torrential these past few months, so I'm likely going to make two posts in a month instead of one really long post. Here we go!

For example, they made the ‘indexifembedded’ and ‘VideoObject’ markup part of their rules, and now customers don’t have to do anything for videos to be indexable.This is
