Today, we launched our August 2024 core update to Google Search.
This update is designed to
continue our work to improve the quality of our search results by showing more content that
people find genuinely useful and less content that feels like it was made just to
perform well on Search.
This latest update takes into account the feedback we’ve heard from some creators and others
over the past few months. As always, we aim to connect people with a range of high quality
sites, including small or independent sites that are creating useful, original content, when
relevant to users’ searches.
This is an area we’ll continue to address in future updates. This update
also aims to better capture improvements that sites may have made, so we can continue to
show the best of the web.
We’ve also updated our help page about core updates,
which includes more in-depth guidance for those who may see changes after an update.
