As Google is currently rolling out its helpful content update, Qamar Zaman, CEO of a Dallas-based digital marketing company, has been keeping a close watch on SERP volatility using SEMRUSH Sensor since last week. He is doing this to monitor and assess the impact of the recent algorithm change on web pages across categories.
On August 29, 2022, Zaman saw decreased volatility across categories. It is a significant improvement compared to the scores on the 28th of August.
“As I’ve said before, the helpful content update would either positively or negatively impact a website. Web pages that provide solutions and value to readers will be rewarded, while the ones with poor content quality would probably suffer ranking loss,” Zaman explained.
