What's new in this algorithm update:

 As mentioned above, the core algorithm update this time will be the same as the previous one (core algorithm update in January 2020) so it will affect all websites in the world. However, because similar to the old algorithm, we can understand this as a content update for all websites, to satisfy the main requirement in this algorithm: updated content.

A reminder that Goole had previously talked about this algorithm to help webmasters easily visualize:

"One way to think about how the core update works is to imagine you created a list of the 100 best movies of 2015. A few years later in 2019, you refresh the list. It will be natural. Some great new movies that have never existed before will be candidates for inclusion. You can also re-evaluate some movies and realize that they deserve a higher position in the film. list compared to before. "

This means that, with new sites that appear but have great content, are optimized more friendly to search engines (SE), better meet the needs of readers on many platforms (yes mobile app, with AMP, optimized loading speed) will be better evaluated . 

What do webmasters need to do:

1. Keep track of your website keyword rankings in webconsole for the next 2 weeks
2. Update new content in the form of responsive to users on your website
3. Get rid of old information that is no longer valid, replace it with new information in the content 
4. Adding technical factors: AMP, mobile version, sitemaps etc . for the website
5. If your website was accidentally hacked by this algorithm, follow the 2 steps above to restore the position or contact an SEO specialist to fix it.

It can be said that this May update is a big challenge for all websites that are ranked high on Google search engines. It is also an opportunity for new, well-invested, user-friendly websites to affirm their position in the market. Stay tuned for this transition for another 2 weeks.
