There have been some recent changes and updates to Google Adwords which were presented at the 2016 Google Summit and are important for digital marketers in order for you to make the most of the new features. Google is continuing to emphasise a ‘mobile-first’ approach, which means that the look of the SERP is changing to make the mobile experience more favourable.

Being important, well known and well received has been at the top of many peoples lists of overall life goals for hundreds of years.
