Google announced officially its new update released on 25th May 2022. The update is considered as its first core update in 2022. It may take 1-2 weeks to reflect on the search.
“Today, we’re releasing a core update, as we do several times per year. It’s called the May 2022 core update. As a reminder, nothing in a core update is site-specific. Those who seek to perform well with Google Search generally, including with core updates, should look to our previous guidance on what site owners should know about core updates.”
“We confirm broad core updates because they typically produce some widely notable effects. Some sites may note drops or gains during them. We know those with sites that experience drops will be looking for a fix, and we want to ensure they don’t try to fix the wrong things. Moreover, there might not be anything to fix at all.”
-Danny Sullivan (Google’s Public Liaison for Search)
In fact, Google Search updates its algorithm thousands of times a year to improve the quality of search results. every day Google releases some updates which are not noticeable. But there will be a few updates called core upgrades, which are easily noticeable.
“Google Search receives billions of queries every day from countries around the world in 150 languages. Our automated systems identify the most relevant and reliable information from hundreds of billions of pages in our index to help people find what they’re looking for. Delivering great results at this type of scale and complexity requires many different systems, and we’re always looking for ways to improve these systems so we can display the most useful results possible”.
