With each new Google algorithm update, businesses face the challenge of keeping their digital presence relevant. Google’s latest August 2024 update promises to be a game-changer, especially for those managing websites without deep SEO (Search Engine Optimization) knowledge .

This post aims to provide clear and didactic information about the main aspects of this update, how it can impact the ranking of websites and what can be done to maintain or improve the visibility of your pages on Google.

What is Google Algorithm Update?
Google algorithm updates are changes made to the way the search engine ranks websites on the internet. These updates are intended to improve the user experience by ensuring that the most relevant and useful content appears at the top of search results.

In the case of the August update, the focus is on promoting high-quality content and penalizing those that are created exclusively to obtain a good ranking in search results, without offering real value to the user.

Why is this update different?
Unlike previous updates, such as the one in March of this part time data year, the August 2024 update brings with it a direct response to the criticism and feedback received since the September 2023 update.

Many businesses and independent content creators were negatively impacted by the September update, which prioritized large websites and portals over smaller ones. Now, Google is looking to reverse this trend by giving more space to original, quality content produced by smaller, independent websites.

Google's John Mueller explained that the goal of this update is to continue to improve the quality of search results by highlighting genuinely useful content and reducing the visibility of content created solely to perform well in search engines. Mueller reinforced that Google intends to continue to support smaller sites that produce relevant, original and high-quality content.
