You&#8217;d like Google<br \/>\n    to do a better job of surfacing the answers to the most common questions. The browse structure<br \/>\n    doesn&#8217;t make it easy for users to find help, and sometimes search depends on users knowing<br \/>\n    exactly the right term to search for.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    You like the idea of context-sensitive help &#8211; on-the-spot assistance (often shown in a tooltip<br \/>\n    that appears when you hover over an item) that doesn&#8217;t require you to click to a different<br \/>\n    Help page.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    Right now, it&#8217;s not clear when new Help information &#8211; or new features &#8211; are added, and you&#8217;d<br \/>\n    like Google to look at calling these out.\n  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"you-want-help-to-be-more-useful\" tabindex=\"-1\">You want Help to be more useful<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>You&#8217;d like Google to look at adding videos and graphics<\/li>\n<li>\n    You&#8217;d like us to providing the kind of information that&#8217;s relevant to the average webmaster,<br \/>\n    who may not have a deep knowledge of SEO techniques. You&#8217;re looking for good and understandable<br \/>\n    answers to common questions.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    You&#8217;d like us to expand the actual content, and do a much better job in explaining potential<br \/>\n    reasons why sites may have dropped the rankings.\n  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"whats-next\" tabindex=\"-1\">What&#8217;s next?<\/h2>\n<p>\n  Well, over the next several weeks, we&#8217;ll be working on lots of changes to the Help Center, both in<br \/>\n  its content and its organization.
