Question

Anyone noticed an effect of this update on their site? I’ve had a small but noticeable shift up.

Answer 1

Biggest change I see is Google has deprecated "data-vocabulary" within review schema and now I have 10k+ pages that need to "fix". Also "itemReviewed" now needs fixing

@resourceful752 looks like it started 3rd of Feb

@alfonso9090 This isn't my area . but isn't that just when google launched this review in GSC?  

---

@resourceful752 Possibly. Although 10k+ products have been fluctuating for over a week now. Whereas they used to be very steady due to the niche

Answer 2

Short answer, yes. After years of providing value to our website visitors, instead of over optimising everything, we are seeing increases in exposure and clicks. Interesting.

@triptych pleased for you!  

Answer 3

Yeah, all 5 sites I'm working on have plummeted, but in the past 24 hours rankings are slowly increasing. All my work has been white hat and done correctly. I imagine its some sort of Google Test, to see if correctly ranking items are intact correct?

@incest they plummeted just recently or last year? Are they affiliate sites?  

---

In the past 3 or 4 days, no all real businesses or ecommerce sites

---

@incest so a big drop and some recovery? Hope it continues for you.  

Answer 4

Saw more of an impact on my local clients than my national clients oddly enough. But minimal changes across the board for me. Just small ripples for tracked keywords but no serious traffic changes.

Answer 6

Yes ranking fluctuations

SEMRush sensor says my personal score is a 9. 4 the past two days, but I see little movement. What little I see is positive

Answer 8

Yes a ton what’s going on, any insight from good sources?  

Answer 9

Confusing trendline
