September 2019 has been relatively quiet for SERP volatility but as of 18\/09\/2019 we may be seeing a bit of a shakeup. SEMrush has this morning recorded a score<\/a> of 6.1 throughout the United Kingdom on a desktop viewport.<\/p>\n

On a mobile viewport this is slightly higher with a score of 6.2. This is a similar theme throughout Europe with scores as high as 7.8 recorded for Spain. Is this signalling a potential core algorithm update? Of course it is too soon to say but we will continue to monitor the SERPs and any potential implications this will bring. Signs began<\/a> to be picked up on Friday the 13th (a bad omen?!) and appear to be continuing throughout the week. This is consistent with various monitors and chat forums, we are seeing talk of keyword and SERP fluctuations and in turn traffic changes. Although this update does not appear to be as large as previous core updates there is definitely chatter throughout the SEO community.<\/p>\n

Google September Core Algorithm Update 24\/09\/2019<\/h2>\n

Google has just recently announced that they will be releasing a core algorithm update, named the ‘September 2019 Core Update’, which is scheduled to go live as of 24th September 2019. As previously mentioned Google releases many updates a year, most of which are not officially named and we are not usually warned. However, when a larger update is scheduled to be rolled out that is likely to have a larger impact upon rankings and traffic they will now warn us. Core updates are designed to focus on Google’s mission of presenting relevant and authoritative information to users. The official Google Search Liaison Twitter account has informed of this:<\/p>\n

\n

Later today, we are releasing a broad core algorithm update, as we do several times per year. It is called the September 2019 Core Update. Our guidance about such updates remains as we\u2019ve covered before. Please see this blog for more about that: https:\/\/t.co\/e5ZQUAlt0G<\/a><\/p>\n
