Given that <strong>Google has a ~93% share in the online search domain<\/strong>, this update is likely to have extremely important repercussions on the <a style=\"color: #dc3343;\" href=\"https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/how-prepare-unicorn-digital-strategy-businesses-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">digital marketing strategies of businesses<\/a> in general, and website content development in particular. That&#8217;s precisely why local SEO experts and related professionals are making it a point to understand what the Helpful Content Update is all about, and how they need to modify their content strategies accordingly. Here&#8217;s a quick overview on how truly &#8216;helpful&#8217; this update from Google is actually going to be:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>People Will Get More Satisfactory Answers To Their Online Queries<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Helpful Content Update is going to make it more important than ever for content creators to add relevant information on websites. The information should add value, and be able to resolve the queries of online searchers in the best possible manner. If looking up the details about something on the internet is treated as a task, the new update will make sure that people find it easier to complete this task. The need for visiting multiple sites for the same information would be reduced (thereby bringing down bounce rates). Contrary to what many still believe, <strong>there is no \u2018magic figure\u2019 as far as website word count is concerned &#8211; and \u2018talking value\u2019 is way more important than just \u2018writing a lot\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Rise &amp; Rise Of People-First Content<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_616\" style=\"width: 2010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-616\" class=\"wp-image-616 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Peoples-Firt-Content-Brandwizz.png\" alt=\"People First Content Update\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Peoples-Firt-Content-Brandwizz.png 2000w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Peoples-Firt-Content-Brandwizz-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Peoples-Firt-Content-Brandwizz-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Peoples-Firt-Content-Brandwizz-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Peoples-Firt-Content-Brandwizz-1536x806.png 1536w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Peoples-Firt-Content-Brandwizz-150x79.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-616\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rise of People First Content Update<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As most digital marketing and SEO services experts confirm, Google has been &#8211; for a long time &#8211; advocating the creation of content for actual humans, and not just for the search engines.<strong> With the new Helpful Content Update, such \u2018people-first\u2019 content will get uniform precedence, as far as online rankings and visibility are concerned.<\/strong> It has to be kept under consideration that the latest roll-out is a sitewide update &#8211; and sites that are affected by the Helpful Content Update are likely to have the negative signal associated with them for several months. While doing the necessary modifications will lead to site recovery, abiding by the update\u2019s requirements from the start is, by far, the smarter option.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A New Signal For Google For Content Ranking<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Helpful Content Update from the global search engine giant will use an automated machine learning (ML) process for its classifier (<em>as John Mueller, Google\u2019s Search Advocate, has highlighted<\/em>). Unlike earlier spam penalties or manual actions, <strong>the update will affect all sites that are \u2018classified\u2019 to have too much of \u2018unhelpful content\u2019.<\/strong> As a result, the search performance (i.e., online visibility) of the concerned website will suffer. There are two more points that warrant a special mention in this context: Firstly,<strong> it won\u2019t be possible to detect which page(s) or URL(s) have been classified as \u2018unhelpful\u2019<\/strong> &#8211; necessitating entire site audits. Secondly, given that the Helpful Content Update is a sitewide algorithm, <strong>strategies like putting the low-quality content in a subdomain\/subfolder are not going to work<\/strong> (using \u2018noindex\u2019 is not advisable either). The classifier constantly processes scores &#8211; and websites with sub-optimal content will get hit.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> To start with, the new update will be applicable to English searches only. It is not a core update, and will have implications only on Google Search (and not on Discover) &#8211; at least for now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h5>Must Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/google-marketing-live-2022-all-you-need-to-know\/\">Google Marketing Live 2022- All You Need To Know<\/a><\/h5>\n<h3><strong>Having, And Sticking To, A Particular Line Of Expertise Will Be Vital<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Consider this: <em>You have a website about organic, gluten-free food. Now, you get an opportunity to leverage a high-value keyword on, say, skincare routines &#8211; and write an informative article around it. While this article will be helpful per se, your main audience, who expect information on organic food on your pages, will not find it useful. According to the Helpful Content Update, this will send out a negative signal.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_617\" style=\"width: 2010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-617\" class=\"size-full wp-image-617\" src=\"https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Content-on-Treding-Topic-Brandwizz.png\" alt=\"Content on Trending Topic- Brandwizz\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Content-on-Treding-Topic-Brandwizz.png 2000w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Content-on-Treding-Topic-Brandwizz-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Content-on-Treding-Topic-Brandwizz-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Content-on-Treding-Topic-Brandwizz-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Content-on-Treding-Topic-Brandwizz-1536x806.png 1536w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Content-on-Treding-Topic-Brandwizz-150x79.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-617\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Information Rich Content Taking Place in SERP<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The new update will allow web content developers and local SEO professionals to ensure that a website primarily caters to the requirements and queries of its existing target audience. <strong>Simply writing on a trending topic &#8211; even when it has very little or no relation with the focus area(s) of the website &#8211; will be counterproductive.<\/strong> Sticking to a main set of topic(s) is the best way to avoid risks of negative impacts.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Understanding Search Intent: The Evolution Of SEO<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Search engine optimisation has come a long way from the 2000s. With the Helpful Content Update, the weightage assigned to satisfactorily serving the \u2018search intent\u2019 of users has increased manifold. <strong>For relevant search queries, a high-ranking website has to deliver a consistently good experience to users<\/strong> (otherwise, the high bounce rate will clearly show that the concerned website is not a good fit for that search query). At the end of the day, Google is there for optimising the search experience of people &#8211; and not just ranking a plethora of websites. SEO services need to become smarter and more targeted.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Helpful Content Update Is Not Panda 5.0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Google\u2019s Panda Update (first announced in 2011) cracked down on low-quality content in a big way. Given that the new Helpful Content Update also works on the same lines &#8211; it won\u2019t be uncommon to find similarities between the two. However, unlike the latest update, Google Panda is a part of the search engine\u2019s core algorithm. Google has also officially stated that <strong>Helpful Content Update will be rolled out \u2018in addition to\u2019 Panda.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In terms of the long-term impact on content marketing and local SEO though, the new update will be a lot like the Panda and Penguin updates, which revolutionised SEO strategies for practically everyone. At present, the Helpful Content Update will primarily look at tech content, online education portals, shopping &amp; entertainment portals and related website content.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Importance Of E-A-T Is Set To Increase Exponentially<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_618\" style=\"width: 2010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-618\" class=\"size-full wp-image-618\" src=\"https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Improtance-of-EAT-Increased-Brandwizz.png\" alt=\"Importance of EAT Increased-Brandwizz\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Improtance-of-EAT-Increased-Brandwizz.png 2000w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Improtance-of-EAT-Increased-Brandwizz-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Improtance-of-EAT-Increased-Brandwizz-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Improtance-of-EAT-Increased-Brandwizz-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Improtance-of-EAT-Increased-Brandwizz-1536x806.png 1536w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Improtance-of-EAT-Increased-Brandwizz-150x79.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-618\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Expertise, Authority &amp; Trust- Key Factors of Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Till now, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness (or, E-A-T) &#8211; key factors in the Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines of Google &#8211; were mostly relevant for online content that can affect the safety, happiness, finances or health of users (also known as YMYL, or \u2018your-money-or-your-life\u2019 content). The Helpful Content Update will make E-A-T more universal. <strong>Information that demonstrates real expertise (preferably, first-hand expertise) will get priority<\/strong> &#8211; while content that has simply summarised details available elsewhere, or contain a lot of fluff, will be negatively affected. Content that is written to rank well on SERPs will not do well, and the focus will be on information that will be informative and engaging for users.<\/p>\n<p>On the World Wide Web, speculative content is a big thing. However, such content generally does not have any confirmed answers. This type of content, which is mainly based on rumours and hearsay (i.e., no factual basis) is going to be affected by the Helpful Content Update. Google has always given precedence to content that is accurate and builds trust &#8211; and this trend will become all the more evident with the latest update.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As the undisputed search engine leader, Google has constantly reiterated its vision to systematically collate and present all the information on the World Wide Web and present it in a manner that would be most useful, accessible and relevant for users. The &#8216;Helpful Content Update&#8217; is yet another step to ensure this.<\/strong> The onus now lies with web content creators and experts on SEO services to make sure that all content is written with a &#8216;people-first&#8217; perspective, and not for the sole purpose of ranking high on Google (i.e., content for the bots). The latest update will add a new dimension to how web pages are ranked on Google &#8211; and only the most &#8216;helpful&#8217; content will get maximum online visibility.<\/p>\n<p>On average, 3 out of every 4 people do not go beyond the first page of the Google SERP. It is important for SEO professionals to understand the nitty-gritty of the new update, and incorporate changes as required. The world of online search is an insanely competitive one, and businesses simply cannot afford to get left behind.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/digital-marketing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-619\" src=\"https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/360-Degree-Digital-Marketing-Services-Brandwizz.png\" alt=\"360-Degree Digital Marketing Services- Brandwizz\" width=\"1000\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/360-Degree-Digital-Marketing-Services-Brandwizz.png 1000w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/360-Degree-Digital-Marketing-Services-Brandwizz-300x72.png 300w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/360-Degree-Digital-Marketing-Services-Brandwizz-768x185.png 768w, https:\/\/brandwizz.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/360-Degree-Digital-Marketing-Services-Brandwizz-150x36.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There has already been a lot of speculation and buzz over Google&#8217;s Helpful Content Update, which was announced earlier this month and started rolling out from 25 August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":615,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[114,115,116,118,117],"class_list":["post-614","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-digital-marketing","tag-google-helpful-content-update","tag-google-ranking-update","tag-goole-update-2022","tag-helpful-content-update","tag-helpful-content-update-2022","blog-type-blog","span_1_of_3","masonry-entry","loop-entry col clr","cat-4"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Google&#039;s Helpful Content Update: Is It Really Helpful?
