During our latest Lunch N’ Learn, Michael Zhmudikov, our Director of SEO, led an in-depth discussion on Google’s increasingly frequent core updates, including the recent August 2024 Broad Core Update. Here’s what you need to know: Significant Impact: Each update affects 5-10% of search results, causing major shifts in both organic and map positions. Staying on top of these changes is crucial, especially as this latest update rewards small and independent publishers. Quality Over Quantity: Google continues to prioritize quality and relevance, promoting sites that follow best practices and penalizing those using black or grey hat tactics. Ethical SEO remains the path to long-term success. Looking Ahead: Future updates may start targeting AI-generated content quality. As AI becomes more integral to content creation, ensuring it meets Google’s standards will be key. As these updates unfold over the next several weeks, staying proactive and maintaining open client communication is critical to preserving rankings and conversions. 📋 Want to be prepared?
