Google Algorithm Update

12 Aug Google Algorithm Update

Yes, Google has launched another algorithm – that seems to have been the theme for the last few years!

After two months of recess, the SEO community has to brace for yet another Google Broad Core Algorithm Update.
Unlike the daily updates that Google launches, the broad core algorithm update has vast implications as it is notorious for shuffling the organic results, causing fluctuations in the organic rankings of websites.
