Worried About Google Updates Hurting Your Rankings? - charlesprabhu - 10-22-2025
Google algorithm updates can cause significant ranking drops, leading to panic. The key is to remain calm and avoid hasty, reactive changes. Start by confirming the update and analyzing which pages and keywords were affected using tools like Google Search Console. Google’s core updates often reward sites that demonstrate strong E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) and deliver genuinely helpful, people-first content. Focus your efforts on improving content quality, ensuring it comprehensively answers user intent. Address technical SEO issues, strengthen your backlink profile, and enhance the overall user experience. Recovery takes time and patience—often until the next core update—so consistent, quality improvements are your best defense.
