Google updates European Search layout after facing €460 million penalty
Following a €460 million fine from the EU for prioritizing its own services, Google has restructured its Search results across Europe. Platforms such as Expedia and Booking.com will now receive increased prominence when users search for flights, hotels, or dining options. Google has cautioned that these adjustments represent the most significant decline in Search quality to date and might lead to a 30% drop in traffic for local companies.
