This is a video I originally created for The Blogsmith’s agency clients about the numerous Google algorithm (and one core) updates that happened in Fall 2022 — after an otherwise quiet year of major updates. We received such a positive response that included clients asking to share this video externally, so I decided to upload it here for you!
