What Happens after Every Google Core Update

New Core update announced. August 5th 2024. Looks like Barry has an update on this post already. Does he even sleep? Let’s see what it has to say.

Google has updates once every 3 to 5 months typically. This Google Update was announced on July 3rd 3:05. The Google update may take up to 3 weeks to roll out but typically it can be between 2 to 3 weeks or even go over. Google is a search engine.

Wow. I bet this update is going to hit hard. Let’s see what the people on X have to say about it.

My 10,000 word article on Pledge Furniture Polish suddenly dropped out of the SERPs with this update. All original pictures. I’m using the latest SEO techniques from Guy Niche Blogger with the WordPress template you’ve seen on thousands of other websites. Seems strange no? Meanwhile Reddit gained another 5% in visibility.

Google hates my family and they probably hate yours too. Join /r/google-pledge-satan and write to your congressman. It’s a monopoly!

Maybe it is more helpful for the user if google links to Amazon’s product listing or the brands company page instead of yours? There are reviews from real people there and product descriptions (hopefully).

I see @GardenFan342. It’s obvious you also hope I fail and hate my family. You realize I have two kids right? You have been blocked. @JohnMu, I know you read my posts. I can feel your cowardly presence. He has plenty of time for LinkedIn but not here on X. He won’t answer us because he’s scared. Join /r/google-pledge-satan and finally be heard.

I went to the Google invite for creators 8 months ago. They said they would take into account our position and help us. All they did was ask us questions and took notes based on our responses. They said they would look into it and apply changes to future algorithm updates. I’ve never felt so disrespected in my life. I could tell they didn’t even read about my trip to the newly renovated Walmart in my neighborhood that used to rank 1st for “guide to walmart shopping”.

Okay, not super helpful here. Maybe let’s take a look at what the SEO experts actually have to say and go from there.

I am already seeing a lot of volatility from my clients. Here are about 6 screenshots of charts showing a lot of movement. This is the first time I have seen HCUx recovery and it’s really great to see.

SEOExpert – 12 hours ago
Here are 12 more screenshots of charts and Google Console. You can see how recovery started happening during the Core rollout and continued during the rollout. No one knows if this is going to stick or not.

So can you explain any patterns on your end? Are there certain sites or verticals being targeted? Did your clients make a lot of changes? Can you show us an exact case study of a full recovery and steps taken? Random charts don’t really tell a lot without context.

So @RandomUser All of our clients sign an NDA and we cannot go into specifics. I can confirm there has been a ton of movement though.

For those of you in Budapest, Hungary this weekend I will be giving a talk on why AI Overviews is going to change everything and nothing all at the same time. Tickets are $350 each. Also, next week I will be in Rome so my posts may be limited until I get back. That talk has to do with what to expect from the next Core Update.

Okay. So there has been a Google Core update and movement. This time HCUx sites were impacted in a positive way but not all of them. I wonder if I am missing something. I can’t really afford to be a client of the well respected SEO agency...
