Google Core Updates in Summer 2021

The so-called core updates are the larger updates from Google that intervene more deeply in the algorithm and thus influence the search results the most.

For a long time it was quiet, to be exact since half a year nothing has been heard about a new core update from Google. Now on 02.06.2021 came the official Twitter message about the new update.

The old familiar Core Updates

The last update from Google was already half a year ago. As always, the December 2020 Core Update has the SEO scene in an uproar. In December 2020, however, it was weird because not all parts of pages were affected equally. With the June Core Update, it was different this time. The uproar remained hidden as many didn’t even realize an update was coming. General information about the Core Updates can be found here.
