Last updated: September 15, 2024
As a Google SEO heavyweight, on August 15, 2024, at 07:58 Pacific Daylight Time or 23:58 BST Google released its latest core update and it is expected to take a month to complete.
Here is the original article about this core update:
Today, we launched our August 2024 core update to Google Search. This update is designed to continue our work to improve the quality of our search results by showing more content that people find genuinely useful and less content that feels like it was made just to perform well on Search.
This latest update takes into account the feedback we’ve heard from some creators and others over the past few months. As always, we aim to connect people with a range of high quality sites, including small or independent sites that are creating useful, original content, when relevant to users’ searches. This is an area we’ll continue to address in future updates. This update also aims to better capture improvements that sites may have made, so we can continue to show the best of the web.
We’ve also updated our help page about core updates, which includes more in-depth guidance for those who may see changes after an update.
To summarize the highlights:
- The update aims to improve the quality of search results, reduce ranking-oriented content, and provide users with original and useful information. – Cliche, every update emphasizes this.
- Feedback from creators was considered (and partially used) in the update.
- The update aims to capture better improvements that may be made to the site, meaning that past optimization actions (changes) that we make to the site will be more easily detected by Google. Presumably, the frequency of ranking updates may also become faster.
- Update the help pages on Google’s core updates to have a further in-depth understanding of them.
What do we do?
- Always create quality content and make timely improvements and optimizations as needed. To be more specific, in addition to newly released content, images, descriptions, etc. the original content should also be updated promptly, especially for some time-sensitive content topics.
- Observe and analyze the data, because each Google core update will be more or less on the website traffic has a certain impact, so we need to Google core update before and after the comparison of whether there are keywords or pages of the platoon traffic up or down more obvious, up page we as a reference, down on timely optimization and improvement.
The Google core update is expected to take a month to complete when we come back to review the specific impact on the site.
