Google June 2019 Core Search Algorithm Update Rolling Out Now

Google June Core Update

As expected, Google told us yesterday afternoon that the June 2019 core update has started to roll out. It may take several days to roll out to all of Google’s data centers but the process has started yesterday afternoon.

On Sunday, Google pre-announced this, which was rare, but they said they will be doing an update this week – a core update to the search ranking algorithms.

Throughout Monday, the SEO community was saying – “are we there yet” all day long. So Google posted this update:

Then about an hour later, Google posted it has started to go live:

Google said “The June 2019 Core Update is now live and rolling out to our various data centers over the coming days.”

It will take at least the rest of the week for this to settle down. I am sure we will see plenty of theories before then and even after. But for now, let it settle, you will see pretty soon if you were impacted by this update and then you can start theorizing.

Many are already saying, even before it launched, that this was a rollback of some sorts. Gary Illyes from Google posted a GIF about that:

I may or may not do a survey, the last one was a bust and I didn’t see a pattern.

As of this morning, I am some chatter at WebmasterWorld about the update making an impact on some sites. But overall, right now, it seems pretty quiet – it might just need more time to roll out or maybe this was a smaller update? Here is some of the early chatter:

Black Hat World has a lot of discussion around this, mostly about waiting for it to come but here are some who saw changes so far:

There is also a ton of comments on my story from Sunday on this update.

Also the tools are pretty mixed, most showing little change – keep in mind, we may need to wait for tomorrow to see changes:
