Story

Google calls it the biggest Search change in over 25 years, rolled out through mid-June. Search answers the query directly and builds a page around the answer rather than returning a list. For anyone shipping content, this is a structural hit to click-through economics. The answer layer absorbs the query, and the source page stops getting the visit. Plan your discovery strategy around being the cited source, not the destination. (ALM Corp)
