Key Takeaways
  • Google has announced that the October Core Update for this year has completed its rollout.

  • This update targets quality content to appear on the top pages of SERPs and lowers less useful content.

  • For web owners who are affected, optimizing based on Google's guidelines is recommended.


Google has officially concluded the rollout of the October Core Update 2023. This event marks the third core update of the year, highlighting Google's steadfast commitment to refining its search algorithms for a more user-centric online experience.

 

When Did the Rollout Begin?

The October Core update started on October 5, 2023, following the release of the October 2023 spam update, which was launched a day earlier. For 14 days, website managers, SEO experts, and site owners closely monitored the developments brought about by the update that changed search rankings and result pages.

Announced through the Google Search Central X account, the rollout completion took two weeks after its launch.

Goals of the October Core Update 2023

A core update is a significant and extensive change made to Google's search engine algorithms. These updates target the ranking system that determines how websites are sorted in search results.

The main goal of this update is to improve the quality of search results and ensure that users are presented with the most relevant, trustworthy, and helpful content when conducting searches.

To achieve this goal, the October core update works in two primary ways:

 

1. Promoting Quality Content

The update rewards websites that provide high-quality, accurate, and reliable information. It aims to boost the rankings of websites considered authoritative in their respective niches.

For example, websites with well-structured and fact-checked articles in the medical field are regarded as authoritative and may see an increase in their rankings during this update.

 

2. Lowering the Rankings of Low-Quality Sites

On the other hand, the update penalizes low-quality websites by lowering their rankings. These websites may have less informative, inaccurate, or unreliable content, excessive ads, or other factors that harm the user experience. These websites are pushed down in the search rankings to ensure that users only access the best results.

 

Best Practices for Those Affected

For publishers or website owners who experience the impact of this update, here are some best practices to consider:

 

1. Focus on Useful and Factual Content

Prioritize creating informative, accurate, and reliable content. Such content helps build a reputation as an expert in relevant fields.

Ensure that the shared content adds value, solves problems, or provides in-depth insights into specific topics for readers.

 

2. Optimize the Site for a Positive User Experience

Make sure your website is responsive and accessible on various devices, including mobile, tablet, and desktop. A positive user experience on all devices is crucial.

 

3. Regularly Monitor Content Performance

Continuously monitor data and analyze the performance of your website. Pay attention to trends, ranking changes, and keywords that can be improved.

 

4. Implement Enhanced Improvements Over Time

Instead of only responding when there is an algorithm update, make improvements continuously. Maintain content and site quality consistently to withstand various algorithm updates.
