You are aware of the time: year in review. With 2022 coming to a close and the office being so quiet, we thought it would be interesting to look back on this year from Search Central's perspective. What a year it was for Search Console debuts and guides, strange and welcome documentation revisions, videos, events, social networking both online and offline! Looking forward to 2023 seeing what has in store for us...!


First, they released more capabilities and reports to Search Console just as we were beginning to think they would finally slow down. One of the greatest ways for video publishers to analyse and track how Google views and indexes their videos is through the Video Index report, which was introduced in July. The group included additional reports created especially for online vendors and producers of product reviews in order to assist merchants all over the world. 


The Search Console team also developed a new API for URL Inspection as the icing on top.While introducing new features is excellent for products, code health is as crucial. For example, the team decluttered certain outdated products like the URL Parameter Tool and the International Targeting report that had minimal effect on Google Search.


Daniel, the resident Search Console snoop on our team, didn't hold back either; he showed us fresh ways to visualise and analyse data from Search Console. We didn't even know it was feasible until he wrote his guide in March about linking Search Console to Looker Studio. Additionally, his advice on data visualisation for search performance felt like a free disclosure of secrets.


Speaking of oversharing, this year in our annual WebSpam review post, we introduced SpamBrain. To our surprise, the larger search ecosystem appeared to enjoy our new friend. Ranking updates, including Core updates, Product review updates, and Helpful Content updates, were a frequent topic of Danny and Alan's blogs. Then these blog posts appeared as standalone help files by magic.


What about revisions to the documentation? Lizzi, that is, got rid of webmasters as a phrase. It took many months to overhaul the outdated Webmaster Guidelines into something more manageable, but it was well worth the effort. Along with Cherry, Lizzi also replaced the outdated screenshots of the search results with illustrative illustrations that will greatly aid localization.

Then we updated our documentation with a single sentence, which caused pandemonium online. The last time we discuss it, it was 15 MegaBytes, is now.

But let's speak about something much more exciting: we are thrilled to be returning to live events! Since Cherry brought back our first live events since 2019, we'll make an effort to host more of them in the future. As usual, Martin attended way too many events, and John and Lizzi strangely taped a podcast at an SEO conference. Speaking of podcasts, we've produced more than 50 so far, and people still continue to enjoy them.


We also widened our social circles. The majority of the Search Relations team members are currently active on Mastodon, and we've started experimenting with LinkedIn as well. This represents a significant shift given that none of these platforms make it simple to post JIFs. But don't worry; you can find us there as well. In fact, if you have any thoughts, ideas, or amusing cat photographs, why don't you tweet them to us?


Cheers to an amazing 2023!
