/seo/ - SEO Techniques

not sure if its actually a loss of control or just forced efficiency. ive seen plenty of cases where the manual tweaking we do actually ends up hurting the algorithm's ability to find high-intent leads in the local pack. the automation usually figures out the intent better than we do after enough data is fed through . unless you can point to specific settings that are being stripped away, it might just be a ui update rather than a functional downgrade. have you noticed any actual changes to your bid management or negative keyword lists yet? im still seeing the same granular controls in my accounts.
