As the July update is coming into effect, a number of site owners have noted fluctuations in SERP rankings. Here are some of their observations from a Search Engine Round table blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLost positions on a lot of keywords. But like previous times, hoping to recover them back as the initial dust settles down. Too early to comment right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was hit during the June core update with -20%. At 11:00 AM PST today my traffic is back to pre-June level. I hope whatever it is, my recovery sticks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI saw a recovery from a previous core update in June\u2019s update. And I\u2019m seeing another boost in rankings now with the July core update.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Prepare for Google Algorithm Updates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core updates reveal the importance of maintaining SEO best practices for local pages. Here are some tips to keep your sites performing well this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Localize as much as possible. Write custom title tags, meta descriptions, and header tags with hyperlocal information for each local landing page. Localize on-page content with location-relevant information and photos and videos. Use descriptive, localized image alt tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure your code is working well for you. Double-check \u201crel=canonical\u201d tags to ensure your preferred page sources are correct. Make sure you are using \u201chreflang\u201d tags for multilingual pages. This is especially important for global and multi-location brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is your site mobile-friendly? Keep it optimized and easy to get around with navigational breadcrumb links that target non-branded keyword phrases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep your Google My Business (GMB) up to date. Add your local page URL to your GMB listing, fix any incorrect primary business categories, and add any relevant categories. In a similar vein, reporting duplicate or spam business listings on Google Maps will help your SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Was the Last Google Core Update?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last core update took place in June 2021. But actually, this July update is technically the second part of the June update. While it\u2019s possible that a very small segment of websites may see changes in June that reverse in July, the majority of sites won\u2019t notice either of these updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, both these core updates are happening concurrently with the page experience update. Over the next 3-4 months, it is important for site owners to watch their local marketing performance closely and focus on Core Web Vitals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
