Google Search Console’s efficiency report beginning on Could 13, 2022 now logs impressions for added desktop options. One instance Google gave was “prime tales.” Google mentioned you might even see a rise in your desktop impressions while you filter by Good Web page Expertise within the search look filter. However truthfully, this simply doesn’t make a lot sense…

Google posted these particulars over right here on Could 23, 2022 and wrote:

Search Console now logs impressions for added desktop options, equivalent to High Tales. In consequence, you might even see a rise in your desktop impressions within the Search and Information efficiency experiences when filtered by the “Good Web page Expertise” search look, in addition to desktop impressions within the Web page Expertise report.

I’m not going to lie, I discover this messaging from Google tremendous complicated. Why?

(1) Hasn’t Google already tracked prime tales impressions and clicks in Search Console?

We all know they did observe High Tales for cellular perpetually – and also you’d assume they did for desktop as effectively.

(2) What does the great web page expertise search look should do with this?

My guess is that perhaps Google didn’t observe prime tales for desktop? However I believed Google did. Perhaps they did not observe it along side the great web page expertise search look? Nonetheless, that does not appear to make sense to me since Google added all these into the Search Console experiences again in January 2022 earlier than the web page expertise replace rolled out on desktop.

I did ask Google for clarification as a result of truthfully, I’m tremendous confused by this messaging. This word was simply posted at this time, Sunday, Could fifteenth and I needed to cowl this now so SEOs find out about this confusion and to carry off till we hear from Google.

Once I hear again, I’ll replace you all.
