🔍 Comparing the Core Updates: Then vs. Now
-
Helpful Content Takes Center Stage

Before: It was all about expertise and authority.
Now: Experience and trustworthiness are just as crucial. Personal insights and real-world examples win points.
-
AI-Generated Content Crackdown
Before: AI-generated content flew under the radar.
Now: Google’s sophisticated systems filter out low-value, mass-produced content that lacks a human touch.
-
Local Relevance Matters More
