Google My Business being rolled out to new users across the GMB platform

New Features are coming out for Google My Business users.

They are giving us a few interface and a sidebar navigation bar to help with navigating between posts, insights, and photos

 It has been confirmed by Mike Blumentahl, that new GMB UX is being rolled out to many more users in the United States. They will all be switched to a list view and no longer an option for a card view.

Also in Google News, John Mueller reveals new details about googles mobile first index 

He says "Google will notify users when a site is moved to the mobile first index". I think this is a bunch of BS. I think the Google Update back in december was a partial mobile index rollout. All results are not completely the same, but they are pretty close.

Signs that your site may have been moved.
1. An increase in crawing from Mobile Googlebot
2. A drop off in traffic from desktop users

Mueller said that markup on mobile sites is going to be very important coming up. Who knows what he means by that. Responsive wordpress sites show almost all the same code, but different navigation menus.

 Who knows whats up googles sleeve, but we will see soon.
