Following on from our What Will Google’s Core Web Vitals Algorithm Update Mean For You? We take a deeper look at Core Web Vitals, what they are, and what they could mean for your website.

In May 2020 Google first announced their intention to add enhanced user experience factors into the core algorithm. As part of this roll out, the Core Web Vitals (CWV) update is due to be released during June 2021.

Essentially Core Web Vitals centralises a number of user experience factors found in the Page Speed Insights report to make them easier to identify, track and improve.

It’s worth noting that at present it appears only a small percentage of websites are performing in line with Google’s standards in these areas. That means after the update rolls out in June, it is possible that a number of underperforming websites will see a negative impact on performance as a result.

You may be aware that Google is planning to update their search algorithm by implementing Core Web Vitals as a search ranking factor, this update was initially scheduled for May 2021, but it has now been pushed back to mid-June 2021. However, it’s well worth being aware of the planned changes so that you can be ahead of the game in managing their potential impact on your website ranking and visibility.

At the start of April, Google announced the release of a new algorithm update specifically targeting product reviews. The aim of this update is to improve the quality of content available and help define the most “useful and helpful information possible”, to quote the Google Search Central Blog.

What is the Google Product Review Update?

Late last week Google announced a new algorithm update. Google calls this change an ‘improvement of our ranking systems” and itis specific to product reviews. Google says it is “designed to better reward” those sites that “share in-depth research, rather than thin content that simply summarises a bunch of products”.
