Timothy Armoo, a co-founder and former CEO of influencer marketing firm Fanbytes, is not what you might expect from a multi-millionaire. Armoo made his money selling Fanbytes to digital marketing agency Brainlabs in May 2022 for an eight-figure sum (the exact amount has not been made public). But the young entrepreneur told CNBC Make It that he felt "almost too crippled to spend the money" after growing up poor in public housing in south London. "I would track it every week, maybe twice a week," he said. "I said: 'I would like to come and take out a million pounds in cash.'"

AdvertisementThe already-frenetic SEO community went into overdrive, with social-media sites and industry forums buzzing over the trove. "This is another level of war between SEOs and Googlers," said Lily Ray, ​​a vice president at the SEO agency Amsive. Those crawlers are designed to ensure Google's search results return the most relevant and up-to-date information to the user. Some business owners have reported catastrophic website-traffic drops following two recent major Google Search algorithm updates in the span of months, while sites such as Reddit and Quora have flooded the top of search results pages. Google's response was met with an equally dubious one from the search community.

UK digital marketing firm The Croud Group is working with the investment bank GP Bullhound to search for a new private-equity investor, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. Croud is already PE-backed, having taken on a 30 million pound, or around $28 million, minority investment from LDC in 2019. This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. But unlike some of its closest competitors, Croud hasn't been particularly acquisitive since it took on LDC's investment in 2019. "The valuation expectations would have been very high for Croud," Rosie McKeith, SI Partners director, told Business Insider.

Microsoft said it can add $2 billion in revenue for every 1 percentage point of search share it gains. Microsoft's ad business already grew to $18 billion in the last 12 months. And search advertising is such a lucrative section of the roughly $500 billion digital ad market that it almost doesn't matter if Microsoft barely dents Google's dominance. Even growing its share of search users by a couple of percentage points could grow its revenue by billions of dollars. "The moneymaker for search advertisers is short-tail, transactional terms," Goodwin said.
