The SEO Weekly
March Core Update and Orbitwise - Episode 58
Where queries are weird, advice is controversial, and everything depends.
There was a March Core Update that started rolling out last week. Sounds like it’s pretty volatile. Check out Michael King’s advice for reacting to any algorithm update.
There’s a brand new free topical relevancy checking tool called Orbitwise. We also had the very last SearchLove conference, a ton of new GPT-4 use cases, and some excellent decks on eCommerce, AI, and SEO.
Also:
- SEO Product Management Ticket Writing
- When Google's Manual Penalty database was hacked
- Deploy schema at scale
