Google may have recently updated its search ranking algorithm. The result of this unconfirmed update was evident on June 14, 2023, when several SEOs reported spikes in their Google rankings.

Unlike previous unconfirmed updates where SEOs reported drops in their traffic, they even reported increased traffic from Google. Some even noticed 200% more traffic than usual.

As expected, some SEOs experienced a drop in their rankings:

Note: This volatility in SERP continues for several days, and some site owners are even noticing reversals in rankings.

What’s Next – Dealing With This Update

As with most unconfirmed updates, it is hard to detect the intent or existence of this update. Interestingly, on this same day (June 14, 2023), Google released a new search spam report form where web users can report spammy, deceptive, and low-quality web pages.

While there is no clarity on how this form is related to the update, it is possible that several SEOs have started reporting spam techniques, and Google may have rewarded pages with high-quality content. That said, you can make use of Rank Math’s Analytics to monitor your site for traffic fluctuations.
