Google released a Core Update in September 2019 (link to tweet). A Google Core Update 2019 is a significant enough update for users to notice (Google offers additional information about it here). We believe it is critical to emphasise that Google is continually changing and updating the inner workings of their Algorithms and other tools. As a result, if you work with SEO and Local SEO, you should be aware that the details of a site’s or location’s rank and performance are susceptible to change.

We examined a large amount of Google My Business (Google Business Profile) location data and discovered some intriguing findings following the most recent Core Update.
