Update for Google algorithm changes

Google announced upcoming algorithm changes that will affect site visibility and rankings. The update rewards sites that deliver strong user experience and high-quality content and downgrades sites that rely on manipulative SEO tactics or publish low-value pages.

What Google will do

Google will rank pages higher when they genuinely answer users’ questions. Sites that use clickbait, shallow answers, or content created solely to trick search engines will lose rank.

Why this matters

Search results will favor helpful, trustworthy content. Sites that chase short-term SEO tricks risk losing traffic and visibility.

What site owners should do

Put users first. Create well-researched, authoritative content that solves real problems. Avoid deceptive headlines and thin pages built only to game search engines.
