Google held that Web Creator summit yesterday on the GooglePlex, the place Google instructed victims of earlier search rating updates together with the September 2023 helpful content update, {that a} new Google search ranking update is coming pretty or very quickly, but when they had been hit by the useful content material replace, they need to not count on to get better and so they probably ought to transfer on to new issues.
I used to be not on the occasion however I noticed some posts from web site house owners who had been on the occasion, these are the identical web site house owners that noticed their websites drop considerably because of the September 2023 helpful content update or earlier core updates. They had been invited to Google to talk on to the Google Search Liaison, Danny Sullivan, and varied Google search engineers, together with Pandu Nayak, a VP at Google Search.
Morgan at Charleston Crafted, who was a type of creators, posted on X, saying that Google stated, “Should you had been hit by HCU, don’t count on a restoration anytime quickly.” She added that “they instructed us repeatedly an replace is coming “very quickly” and to not count on restoration.” Plus, she added readability that any suggestions from this occasion will not be in that replace. She wrote, “If the suggestions from this occasion is considered, it is not going to be this replace OR the following one, MAYBE the following one.”
Morgan went on to write down, “Should you had been hit by HCU & rely on google, MOVE ON. They made it clear SOME of us MAY get better ONE DAY however all wouldn’t and who is aware of when it may be. Construct a product. Get new visitors sources. Get a job.”
Listed below are these posts:

Mike Hardaker, the founding father of Mountain Weekly Information, wrote up a extra detailed recap of what went down at this occasion. He wrote, I Drank the Kool-Aid at the 2024 Google Web Creator Summit and documented the occasion in way more element. Listed below are some quotes that stood out associated to this:
He quoted Pandu Nayak saying:
I’ve to say I’m very very sorry for you, this isn’t nice in any respect. I can not additionally offer you any ensures about restoration or not, I feel that will not be answerable for me to say this. As a result of I can not inform what’s going to occur. It is simply the unlucky state of how we function right here. We’re right here listening to you, I feel the entire motive we’re having this convention in any respect is for us to listen to you out, to get our groups to listen to you out.
Our aim is to floor nice content material for customers. I think there may be plenty of nice content material you guys are creating that we aren’t surfacing to our customers, however I can not offer you any ensures sadly. We’re targeted on issues for our customers, that isn’t going to alter.
I’ve to say that it’s precisely the type of issues that drives us ahead, I do not see this as a waste, I can see for those who do not get better in a sure period of time I can see you pondering of this as a waste however we discover this extremely useful to information the work that we do.
Only one different remark I wish to make is that we do need to say we’ve got a vested concerned with having an excellent net ecosystem. We’re very carefully tied to the net ecosystem. I feel customers profit massively from a vibrant ecosystem. Now that does not reply your query if you’ll get better or anybody else within the room will get better. However we predict having a vibrant net ecosystem is necessary, and that drives plenty of our work.
He quoted Danny Sullivan as saying:
In August a number of the websites noticed restoration, however some persons are saying I need to be again to the place I used to be in September. I used to be speaking to anyone and I stated September isn’t coming again, the entire format of search outcomes has modified.
One of many largest factor that has occurred, I’ve seen websites that completely imagine they had been hit by the HCU or different updates, however no you’re really ranked 2 or 3, 4. Your rating within the prime outcomes however going from the 1 to 2 can have a huge impact. It is extra difficult that. The entire search outcomes have modified, it is attainable that perhaps issues are higher down the road.
That is why on the restoration factor it’s more likely that hopefully it may be a gradual course of. The factor to actually look ahead to is once we do updates. Google could have one other replace pretty quickly, but it surely most likely will not or will not have any updates from what we talked about right here as a result of we will not run again and alter it that rapidly. It kills me as a result of I do know that is going to be miserable and I am additionally trying ahead to the instances on X.
Additionally one different factor was Google saying that his content material was not the difficulty? So what was the difficulty? Right here is that part:
Based on Danny Sullivan, my “content material was not the difficulty” when referencing the Mountain Weekly Information so do not let the HCU replace make you mechanically query your content material. In actual fact it was clear all the web site creators that had been in attendance merely obtained caught up in an algorithm replace, nothing extra, nothing much less.
You are content material does not suck, if it did you would not be studying this. Even for those who managed to lose visitors throughout HCU replace.
So we misplaced visitors as a complete, 1000’s if not lots of of 1000’s of publishers and it occurred to be in the course of the HCU replace, however once more it wasn’t your content material that was the difficulty, certainly not for the heartfelt area of interest web site house owners that had the braveness to point out as much as Google and converse nose to nose with a number of the crew, maybe answerable for our present place. However assigning blame will not assist. I got here to Mountain View, California to search for options.
So it appears we must be seeing Google launch a brand new search rating replace very quickly. However on the similar time, Google is telling these hit by earlier updates to not count on to get better from this subsequent replace. I suppose it’s higher than Google telling of us to have patience as a result of they’re working on promoting this content…
Listed below are extra of Morgan’s posts, but in addition take a look at Mike’s write up:
I’m grateful that I had the possibility to satisfy some actually cool folks. Even throughout the area of interest of web site creators, it’s exhausting to make pals who perceive the place you’re coming from.

Replace: Google’s Elizabeth Tucker (Not Liz Reid) was there as properly.
She spoke firstly and sat on the panel on the finish. Needed to catch a flight and you could possibly inform she nonetheless had each day Google work to attend too. I’d say about 2-3 hours price. She answered many questions on stage and off.
