Google's ever-evolving search algorithms play a pivotal role in shaping the overall brand awareness of businesses. The recent Broad Core Update, which rolled out in August 2023, is no exception. Here's a concise breakdown:

1. Update Overview:

The Google August 2023 Broad Core update commenced on the 22nd of August and to the 7th of September. This rollout spanned just over 16 days, impacting various types of content globally.

2. Key Takeaways:

Purpose: This update aims to promote or reward high-quality web pages and content.

Scope: It's a global update affecting content in all languages and regions.

Impact: While Google hasn't specified the exact percentage of queries influenced by this update, it appears to be a typical core update with swift and broad-reaching effects.

Recovery: Like many Google Updates, we see a fluctuation in Keyword Rankings whilst Google's algorithm figures out quality pages and content. Over the next couple of months, we will see results bounce back and grow.

Google News: This is the first time we’ve seen authors within Google News. It could be Google's way of gaining authority for us as Content Creators and Industry Educators.
