Google officially announced a broad core update. The update rolled out yesterday on Monday June 3^rd, 2019.

The announcement was made via the official Twitter account, Google SearchLiaison.

What to do with broad core algorithm update?

Google’s official guidance is to do nothing.

Many publishers and search marketing professionals may find that advice less than acceptable. But it is good advice.

Here are some things to consider:

Google’s official guidance is that there is nothing to fix.
Google Updates sometimes take a week to ten days to bounce around. So it’s best to wait before forming conclusions about what happened.
Google’s Broad Core Updates do not target specific niches. Google’s John Mueller confirmed that the badly-named “Medic” update was not targeting health related sites. That makes sense for a broad core algorithm update. The definition of broad is something that has a wide scope. Anyone who says a broad core update is targeting a niche is likely mistaken.
Google’s broad core updates can be said to be about relevance. Site quality always remains important. But it’s never been the sole focus of the algorithm. It’s important to keep in mind that this is a broad core algorithm update, not just a “site quality” update.
When trying to figure out why your site is no longer ranking well, don’t approach it from the point of finding what to fix. Instead, it may be more helpful to ask yourself why your site might not be viewed by Google as relevant anymore.
Sometimes it’s more productive to wonder less about what’s wrong with your site. It could be more productive to consider what’s more relevant about the sites that are ranking better.

Short conclusion
