#334 - March Core Update Analysis with L...

Gael Breton & Mark Webster - Full Stack Online Marketers
About this episode

As we come to the end of the March 2024 Core update, many things have changed in the Google landscape, and it’s time to start looking at where we landed.

And to help you navigate these changes, we wanted to bring a guest that’s out in the trenches every day - Lily Ray 🔥

If you don’t know her from her work in a large SEO agency in New York, then you definitely know her as a prominent and very opinionated character in the industry - she shares a ton of interesting insights about SEO on social media, including a lot of original research.

In this episode, Lily and Gael get straight to it and cover many of the hottest topics in search right now, including:

👉 the visibility changes of pure content sites and how your business model may affect your visibility
👉 Reddit and Quora monopolizing search results and how long it may last
👉 HCU, and the divergence between Google’s guidelines and what we observe
👉 signals outside of the“traditional” that Google is giving a lot of importance to these days

We also take a look at specific examples - and they often break the rules - so don’t miss out on this one.

Host: Gael Breton
Guest: Lily Ray
