Google announced it’s rolling out the December core algorithm update, which the company expects to complete over the next two weeks.
The news comes just a week after Google finished rolling out the November core update.
Google’s Announcement
In a post on X, Google stated:
“The Dec. 2024 core update is rolling out, and we expect it will complete in two weeks.
If you’re wondering why there’s a core update this month after one last month, we have different core systems we’re always improving. This past blog post explains more,”
Google’s post included a link to a blog post from November 2023 titled “A Q&A on Google Search updates.”
The blog post provides context around the company’s cadence of algorithm updates.
Multiple Ranking Systems
According to the announcement, Google uses “multiple ranking systems that do different things” and is “always looking at ways to improve these systems to show better results.”
The company said it generally shares information about “notable” updates that it thinks might produce noticeable changes in search results.
