In the U.K. it’s supermarket opening times, especially near holidays.
Google for “Aldi opening times Easter Sunday” and you’ll get articles from the lower quality newspaper websites.
It’s pathetic.
- mrtksn 6y agoOh, definitely. Especially in these pandemic days that was something that I tried and failed. On the Turkish web apparently the news outlets gave up any hope of respect and now every single one of them is doing it. The biggest ones, the leftie ones, the right-wing ones, the cushy with the government ones. All of them. No way Google isn't aware of this, there's a local Google office in Turkey, they have a large presence and full Turkish language support on most of the products. Maybe it's simply part of the business model now. If a supermarket wants people to find their opening times, maybe they should buy an ad placement. There's no money in the high-quality organic search results I guess.
- gokhan 6y agoI'm watching this exact problem for SEO in Turkey and I can say that it was in full-force way before pandemic. Google doesn't care. Instead, they're busy flagging pages discussing "penisilin (penicillin in Turkish) application for kids" as AdSense Policy Violation since the page contains "penis".
