Google testing Question Hub in the U.S. for COVID-related queries

Back in 2018, Google began testing a way for searchers to submit questions to Google manually. It launched in Google India in 2019 as Question Hub, a way for searchers to let Google know when they haven’t been able to find the content they are searching for.
This is now being tested in U.S.-based Google searches as a way for Google to identifying content gaps for COVID-related queries, a Google spokesperson told Search Engine Land.

What it looks like. Dan Leibson sent me an example of this via Twitter this morning. But he is in the U.S., not India, so I asked Google why someone in the U.S. is seeing this. Google said it is a limited pilot in the U.S. for some COVID-related queries where it is trying to understand content gaps.
Here is the screen shot Dan shared on Twitter:
Question Hub. This question hub feature launched in 2019 in India, Indonesia and Nigeria in English, Hindi and Bahasa Indonesia. Now, we have this limited test in the U.S. Question Hub is a tool that enables creators to create richer content by leveraging unanswered questions.
“Question Hub collects these unanswered user questions and surfaces them to bloggers, writers, and content creators like you,” Google said over here.
Publishers that are in this U.S. pilot can access the questions in Google Search Console. Here is a screen shot from Google in 2019:

Why we care. This is a unique way of understanding what searchers are looking for when it comes to queries where Google may not have enough content. Since COVID-19 is a relatively new area and so much content is still being created, while so many people have so many unanswered questions around the topic; here is Google’s method of trying to find ways to fill those answers.  Read More At https://searchengineland.com/google-testing-question-hub-in-us-for-covid-related-queries-333400

Google's December 2020 Core Update: By the Numbers

On December 3rd, Google announced that they were rolling out the   latest Core Update . Initially, the bulk of the impact seemed to arrive on that date, with MozCast spiking at 112.4°F: We measured above-average ranking flux in the three days prior to the update announcement, and a few days after the announcement, but the bulk of the flux seemed to occur on the roll-out day. (The dotted line represents the 30-day average prior to December 3rd.) How did December 2020 compare to other Core Updates? While technically the third largest named core update, Google's December Core Update was very close in measured impact to the May 2020 Core Update and the August 2018 "Medic" Update. Winners and more winners Back in May, I  came down pretty hard  on winners and losers reports. I don't want to discourage all core update analyses, but our rush to publish can produce misleading results, especially with multi-day updates. In May, I settled on a 7-day update analysis, comparing th...
