What are your thoughts on Google's helpful content update that's coming?

by•

Yesterday Google posted an article on what creators should know about Google's helpful content update coming in the next 2 weeks. One of their key points is that they'll favor people-first content even more heavily. https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2022/08/helpful-content-update

Kelly Team Click One Mrs. Sandra Idjoski, WE RANKED ON A CLICK OPTIMIZER SEARCH RESULT. Your question and my comment, got ranked on a search isn't that awesome? you can email me, and then I can send you a screenshot of what I'm talking about. It's very exciting, I don't get them very often but when I do I save them because it's something very hard to do. This is my third one. I just seen it so I wanted to let you know that your question made it in a search. congratulations

In my opinion this is great 😄 Google will always try to reward high quality content, so going with the hacks (as they've mentioned in this update) will eventually push you down or even get you banned. Going against thousands of engineers and trying to hack them might win the sprint, but we are running a marathon 😅

I love it, it will just mean more qualified search results. And all those reviews where the person has never tried the product will slowly fade away. But let's see, Google often show these updates, and then the changes are minimal. Crossing my fingers though! People who has create genuine content, has nothing to fear 🙌

Hey Sandra, we are in this space and this is a great update from Google. With recent rise of AI writing platforms, people are creating and spinning content without adding value. This is an important step to ensure people use new-age technologies to create high-quality content rather flooding the web with repeated stuff.

I think this is great from both perspectives (users vs creators). I hope fewer people now will focus on creating AI written content optimized for search engines and start delivering unique and valuable content instead. I also put together some more tips on Google's latest update here: https://www.marketingminer.com/e...

TLDR version: Google is releasing an update that will better reward content that is satisfying to users and penalize content that is not. Content that is created primarily for search engines is not likely to perform well. Content that is created for humans, with an intended audience in mind, is more likely to be successful. The update will start rolling out next week and will be fully rolled out in two weeks.
