Importance of Core Update:
Google releases core updates several times every year, which aim to improve the search experience by re-evaluating the quality of content. These updates affect all regions and languages.
Important information:
According to Google, most sites will not see major changes from the core update. However, some sites may experience changes in rankings and traffic. As per the advice given by Google:
- Analyze the impact only after the update is complete.
- Compare pre- and post-update traffic data in the Search Console.
- Pay attention to pages whose rankings have dropped by 20+ places.
- Evaluate content quality according to Google’s self-assessment guidelines.
- Focus on long-term improvements rather than quick fixes.
Recovery and response:
Google has indicated that affected sites may take a few months to recover. But this does not ensure that rankings will improve. Changes in search results depend on changing user preferences and content updates.
Site owners can track the progress of this update on Google’s Search Status dashboard.
Way forward:
The November 2024 core update is the last update of this year. We’ll keep you updated on the impact of this update as we develop further updates.
