Coverage of Google is rising : 27 signals on the latest tracked day, down 23% from its three-week baseline of 35, across 15 domains (down from 22 a week ago). That makes it the #103 most-covered of the 348 concerns we track.
If Google matters to your work, coverage is climbing off its baseline — worth a closer-than-usual look this week.
What’s changed
6 of the last 7 tracked days ran below the three-week baseline — a sustained cooling, not a one-day dip.
