What happened?

Platforms change their algorithms without warning. By the time you notice the impact, you've already lost rankings, wasted budget, or missed your targets.

Invisible changes

Google rolls out a core update. Meta tweaks its delivery algorithm. You only find out when your numbers drop.

Reactive, not proactive

By the time you connect the dots between a platform change and your performance, days or weeks have passed.

No playbook

Even when you know an update happened, you're left scrambling to figure out what to do about it.

Google Core Update

1

Wait 2 weeks before making changes

Core updates take time to fully roll out. Don't react to early volatility.

2

Identify affected pages

Use GSC Specialist to find pages with significant ranking drops.

3

Audit content quality

Review affected pages for thin content, outdated information, or missing E-E-A-T signals.

4

Improve or consolidate

Either significantly improve content quality or redirect thin pages to stronger ones.

5

Monitor recovery

Track affected pages over the next 4-8 weeks. Recovery often happens with the next core update.

Know what to do, not just what happened

Every algorithm update comes with a response playbook. Practical, step-by-step guidance on how to assess the impact and what actions to take.
