  • Drop in rankings does not mean these pages are penalized or of bad quality, it simply means other pages are doing much better in terms of content and SEO since last update.
  • Delivering/publishing quality content is the only way to deal with the impact of a core algorithm update. Google also favours quality content.
  • Working on content and SEO do not guarantee recovery, however, choosing not to work towards improvement will virtually guarantee no recovery.

  • It’s being 6 months since the last Google core update rolled out and webmasters who are working hard on their website from then may start to see some noticeable improvements in the rankings of their websites.
