Google’s Helpful Content Update 2022 - Everything you need to know

Google Helpful Content Update

If your content isn’t serving readers with relevant information, then it is high time you change your strategies, else you will be out of the race. Google recently released an update that could end up removing low-quality content from the search rankings. This release is named “Helpful Content Update 2022”. Google has long recommended publishers generate high-quality and user-friendly content while considering SEO tactics. However, the rise of AI writing tools generating automated content that looks real and is SEO friendly but isn’t helpful to the user and is machine-generated has disappointed the readers at large. The searchers are getting frustrated when they land on unhelpful web pages that rank well. This new algorithm aims to downgrade such types of websites and content.



A common query that arises right over here is on what parameters one can judge their website and the content they come up with. To make this easier, Google has provided six questions to assess whether the website is on track or in danger.


• Do you have an existing or intended audience for your business or site that would find the content useful if they came directly to you?



• Does your content clearly demonstrate first-hand expertise and a depth of knowledge (for example, expertise that comes from having actually used a product or service, or visiting a place)?



• Does your site have a primary purpose or focus?



• After reading your content, will someone leave feeling they've learned enough about a topic to help achieve their goal?


• Will someone reading your content leave feeling like they've had a satisfying experience?



• Are you keeping in mind our guidance for core updates and for product reviews?



• – SEO is vast and content marketing is one of its elements that contribute largely to the rankings of a website.


Answering these questions with an unbiased opinion might help the website owners/ publishers to assess whether they are generating content with a people-first approach or with a search engine-first approach.


Helpful Content Update

This update is designed to penalize websites that have a huge amount of unfavorable or unsatisfying content, in context to user intent and content authenticity. This kind of site-wide algorithm update can have a detrimental effect on the site rankings, traffic, and revenue. It uses a classifier to assign a class label to a data set and it is fully automated. It isn’t a manual or spam action, and no penalty would be seen listed in Google Search Console.


With this update being rolled out, publishers are worried about what they can do to prevent from getting penalized. So, here is a list of the types of content that should be avoided, to save your site from being hit by this update.

• Content crafted with an intention to attract Search Engines

• Content generated using tools and AI bots

• Content summarizing the existing content lacking authenticity and value

• Content designed specifically to meet the trends, regardless of the niche and interest of the target audience

• Content that provides incomplete information to the readers

• Content that seems to promise the reader an answer to a query that hasn’t actually been confirmed yet

FAQ’s

We sign NDAs and Confidentiality Agreements as required by the client. All our employees work for us full-time and are bound by company Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure clauses. Additionally, for sensitive projects, we can sign custom NDAs.

We evaluate the results regularly, we test our work (we do both development and acceptance testing), we present it to you, we ask for customer feedback, so the customer knows what they need. They are getting what they are paying for. Also, we have constant communication with the client, so that there are no surprises and we proceed with development only after the client's approval.

Since the project (website/application/CRM) is developed individually for each client, we treat each job as their own. So, if the customer wants to take control and manage it themselves, we have no objection to doing so. However, in some cases where the application is developed using proprietary code, payment terms may vary on a case-by-case basis.

Our project management process covers everything from inception to successful completion of the project. We first understand the requirements and plan based on them, prioritize the tasks and start the execution with a well-structured process flow. During the execution, we make sure to track and monitor the progress of the project and during the final phase, we make sure to troubleshoot, test and deliver it with the final report of the project.

We have extensive experience working with clients in various time zones. Based in India, we operate as a remote-first company with team members across the United States, Europe, and South-East Asia. This global presence allows us to serve clients worldwide, regardless of location.

Our immensely talented technical team consistently thinks out of the box, producing truly innovative solutions leading to outstanding end results.

We are very excited about our work, and we enjoy doing it. We provide regular updates via email & messages and regularly show demos to our clients to ensure our customer’s satisfaction.

We set up a dedicated team for every project that consists of project manager/account manager, developers, UI/UX designers, QAs and business analysts. The team always keeps you in the communication channel and updates you about the progress of your project. Since you are the owner of the project, we assign full rights of the project to you only with mutual consent.

Maintaining and improving client satisfaction is our top priority. We achieve this through prompt customer support, whether during the project or after completion. We provide ongoing instant support once the final delivery is made and the web/app is live whether these are weekdays or not. We care for our client's websites/apps and take immediate actions to provide you the best solutions for any queries from our client's. So, if there are any bugs or defects in these 45-days period after the project is live, we will fix it free of cost.
