Google Announces September 2019 Core Algorithm Update

Google announced it is releasing the September 2019 core update. Core updates impact how Google ranks web sites and how Google determines what is the most relevant web page for a specific query.

What is a core update?

This is the second time that Google has announced a broad core algorithm update before it launched. Core updates don’t target anything specific. Overall, this update is to improve Google’s systems.

What can I expect from this core update? Much like the last broad core algorithm update, here is a list on what to expect from this update.

• Widely notable effects (drops or gains) on search rankings
• Pages that drop in rankings aren’t being penalized, they are being reassessed against other web content
• Continue to focus on providing the best content for your company.

We are monitoring for updates and will make recommendations if necessary.

As always if you have any specific questions and/or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reply to this email.
