    How the May 2022 broad core update will impact search rankings

    What the May 2022 broad core update will focus on
    The update will focus on determining authority on your pages. Essentially, Google will be shifting the way in which it determines the authority signals for pages on websites.
  • 08:12
    Authority signals Google will evaluate
    Google will be looking at the number and quality of reviews being shown on your pages. So, aggregate pages must be up to date or risk being deemed less authoritative.
