Hey there – it is me again – reporting about another unconfirmed Google search ranking algorithm update. This one seemed to start yesterday, July 12th. I am seeing a lot of chatter amongst the SEO community, and the automated Google tracking tools are also showing heated volatility.
I use those two signals, the community chatter and the automated tools spiking, to say that a possible Google update is going on.
Also, the “official” Google ranking updates page, expecting to see Google announce a new update but now, nothing since the April 2023 reviews update has been announced – yet.
I should also note there was a confirmed Google News indexing bug that was resolved but that would only impacts Google News results.

Just to catch you up, we last reported about an unconfirmed Google update around July 6th or 8th and then on June 28th and 29th and then again June 23rd then on June 19th we reported about ongoing heated volatility with Google Search.
