It is super confusing to keep up with all these updates as a small business! I guess the major message is to *ALWAYS* have your end user/audience in mind and provide something of value. Google is attempting to make the user experience better. The content and activities we engage in online as businesses should contribute positively to that end user experience, as well.

It can make you crazy trying to figure out the next big thing. Better to just do what is right for your customers and leave the SEO to the experts
