  • Google Has Completed Its July 2021 Core Update

    Google Has Completed Its July 2021 Core Update

    Google has finished rolling out its July 2021 core update, following a June 2021 core update last month.

    Google usually rolls out core updates to its search algorithm every six months. Some of the updates weren’t quite ready for the June rollout, however, necessitating a follow-up rollout in July.

    The rollout began July 1 and is now complete.

    Google has not given much information on what to expect, only that some sites may see their rankings go up or down, or not change at all. According to Search Engine Land, however, some webmasters were seeing significant changes on July 2 and July 9. There’s a possibility some webmasters are seeing an impact today, but it’s probably still too early to be sure.

    Webmasters whose sites have been impacted should check out Google’s page on how core updates work and mitigation efforts that can be taken.

    Google’s June 2021 Core Update Rollout is Complete

    Google’s June 2021 Core Update has rolled out, as of June 12, bringing the latest changes to Google’s search algorithm.

    Google rolls out updates to its search algorithms on a regular basis, although they usually happen roughly six months apart. This update, however, wasn’t quite complete at the time Google wanted to roll it out in June, so the company split it into a June 2021 and July 2021 Core Update.

    The company announced it would start rolling out the June portion, beginning June 2. At the time, the company said some sites could go up or down in the rankings, or stay the same, but nothing would be set in stone until both parts had rolled out.

    As of June 12, however, the first half of the update has been rolled out, so webmasters may start seeing some initial changes.
