Did you get slammed by the March core update? You’re not alone.
Here are our top evergreen tips for how to bounce back stronger than before and build resiliency for future updates.
🚀1: Pivot to Paid Ads
If you have the budget for it, this is the fastest way to recover lost visibility. When your organic ranking takes a hit, paid ads can protect your brand, provide exposure, and keep you competitive in tough markets. Think of paid ads as an opportunity to provide your brand with a little breathing room while you get your SEO efforts back online.
🚀2: Focus on Quality Content
Google's update emphasised the importance of content that meets user needs and expectations. According to a Google spokesperson, searchers will now see 45% less low-quality search results. This means an investment in human-centric content has never mattered more.
🚀3: Improve the User Experience (UX)
This is not to say your website has to look like every other website out there. However, like your content, your site needs to be designed for people—not search engines. Factors such as page speed, mobile responsiveness, and easy navigation still impact SEO performance and will continue to matter.
🚀4: Conduct an SEO Audit
Take time for a thorough review of your site structure, internal linking efforts, the quality of your backlinks, meta tags, and schema markup. Like a leaky tap, small problems with quick fixes can still escalate.
🚀5: Monitor, Adjust, Adapt
Before, during, and after any changes, it's always good to monitor your performance using analytics tools to see where you might need to make updates. Monitoring performance can also tell you if your rank dropped for "junk" searches or for keywords that actually matter.
