The September 2023 helpful content update is rolling out with an improved classifier. It will take about two weeks to complete. We'll update our ranking release history page when the rollout is complete: status.search.google.com/products/rGHU1…
Our help page about the helpful content system has new guidance about hosting third-party content and more explanation on what to do after a helpful content system update (perhaps you don't need to do anything, or perhaps self-assess your content): developers.google.com/search/updates…
Our help page about creating helpful, reliable, people-first content has new points to consider about removing content or changing dates developers.google.com/search/docs/fu…
We shared earlier this year about work to better show helpful content that can often live in unexpected places: blog.google/products/searc… This work is still continuing and is not part of this particular update. We’ll share more about our work in this area in the future.
@googlesearchc This update promoted very large & old websites that have had articles that have had 8 to 10 years to get links, social posts, etc. Take for example "best hotels in Miami". The top articles give all the expensive hotels! Is expensive best? No. But Google clearly thinks so.
