Google announced a comprehensive core algorithm update this year on 25th May, titled the May 2022 core update. These improvements help enhance the quality and accuracy of search results for users.

Although the update was released on 25th May, it may take several weeks to  fully roll out.

Due to these core updates – one may expect variations in site performance during the search results.  

The core upgrades are carried out to improve the search results in general and be at par with the evolving nature of the internet. Although these basic enhancements are not exclusive to a certain website, they result in some noticeable changes in the way the site performs.

Google follows the 2019 guidelines while publishing a big update in the market.  Things are still the same and Google still corresponds to the same document for this update as well.

To summarize the general recommendations of Google’s core updates are as  below: 

  • Core updates are going to garner massive repercussions, such as a rise and  drop in search rankings.
  • The core upgrades are meant to be for a broader sense as they do not focus  on a single issue. Instead, they improve the overall systems of Google
  • Page rank drops are not penalized; they are compared to other online content  published since the last update.
  • Focus on writing the best possible content is the most effective strategy to  deal with the consequences of a core algorithm upgrade.
  • There are significant core developments every few months. You can expect sites to take some time to recover until the next upgrade.
  • Upgrades do not guarantee that things will improve. On the other hand,  failing to make any improvements virtually guarantees that no recovery will occur.

The last Google core update was released almost six months ago, towards the end of 2021.  

Those working tirelessly on their website at that time may observe significant gains in their search rankings.  

Sites with more essential information may rank higher than abandoned sites.  

However, because this update will take some time to implement, it is too early to assess its impact. Your rankings may change during this time, so don’t be startled if you notice changes right away.  

Once Google has confirmed that the update has been delivered, you can begin your investigation.
