We could also be seeing the beginning of a Google Search ranking algorithm update, as I’m beginning to see volatility spiking within the Google Search outcomes and a spike in chatter inside the search engine marketing group. I do know we expect the following core replace to the touch down in the coming weeks, so possibly Google is testing/evaluating one thing now?
The final replace we coated was an unconfirmed one on July 9th after which we had a slew of weekend Google updates – all unconfirmed – earlier than that. The excellent news is that we didn’t have large weekend volatility this previous weekend, which is out of the norm for the previous couple of months.
I discussed that this previous Sunday on X:

Big drop at this time… Right here we go once more…
I can second that…my USA visitors is -67% at 10am, and residential web page visitors is -77%.
