Google Search Ranking Update Hits Friday June 19th Impacting Black Hats?

Google may have quietly rolled out an update on Friday, June 19th, that seems to may have impacted more of the black hat SEO side of things. It is not 100% clear because most of the tools seem pretty stable and yes there is chatter also in the more "white hat" forums, but I see a much larger spike in chatter in the more "black hat" forums.

CMA: Google Must Share How Search Results Are Ranked & Data Portability

The Competition and Markets Authority in the UK has told Google it must be transparent on how it ranks search results in Google and it must enable users to port its data to other third-party search services. I can't imagine Google will ever share its full secret sauce on how it ranks its search results, and it is not the first time some political body has asked Google to do so, and it won't be the last.

Google Business Profile Owner/Manager Access Invites Not Working For Some

There are reports of a bug with Google Business Profiles where using the feature to invite others with owner and/or manager access is not working.
