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.”
