Google has already begun pitching this new content recommendation system to publishers, including SEJ, and inviting them to participate in a beta version.

In a new test, recommendations show on related areas in the web UI. Google is surfacing its recommendations beyond the Recommendations page in the Google Ads web interface.

Search Console recommendations is a “feature that provides websites with optimization opportunities and suggests actions they can take to improve their presence on Google Search,” Google wrote.

Google is beta-testing a new content-recommendation system for publishers' websites that could compete with Taboola, Outbrain, and Zemanta.
