Google's July 2021 Core Update

 

Google's July 2021 Core update was rolled out at the beginning of the month and took 12 days to effectively complete. As a website owner or webmaster, you must be wondering what impact it will have on your website ranking. Keep reading the article to know the significance of the update in detail.



The July 2021 Core Update is the extension of the June 2021 Core Update. After its rollout, your website ranking must have either gone down or up. It varies from industry to industry. Your SEO company can find it out and then plan a strategy and make changes to the website accordingly.

 

Some industries witnessed a higher increase in rank volatility than others. Beauty & fitness, pets & animals, shopping, real estate and science are among the niches that saw some rise in rank volatility. On the other hand, food & drink, arts & entertainment, news, games, finance and jobs & education niches witnessed a lower rise.

 

Track your site's rankings after every update

 

If you track your website's ranking after every Google update, it can help you find a trend. If your ranking changes, goes up or down with every core update, this means that your website is quite volatile to these releases.

 

Sometimes after a core update, a site that has lost traffic and hence ranking, may gain its position back once the rollout is complete or within the next few months.

 

By tracking the movements of your website, up or down in the past, you will be able to understand  how future updates may impact your site. And you can prepare your site and update content accordingly.

Check the Keyword performance

When checking the rank of your website after the core update, it is also important to check the keyword performance. Make a note of the keywords that performed better and ones that are the poor performer. This way, you can get to know which topics Google is considering as relevant and which ones are irrelevant.

One can easily find out a trend by studying the keywords' performance and plan a content strategy according to it.

Some websites ranked higher after this Google update. The reason for this could be that these websites must have written content that is relevant and in demand according to the search engine. It is also possible that they have made some SEO changes that helped them rank higher on the SERP.

If you need professional help, hire SEO services. An expert SEO team can help you in updating your website so that your SERP ranking increases.

 What to do?

Google expects that we create high quality content. Apart from this, there is nothing that you can do as per Google. According to the search engine giant, there is no need to fix anything on your website after such core updates even if you experience a drop in your ranking. Google said, “There’s nothing wrong with pages that may perform less well in a core update.”
