Google’s algorithm changes again: September 2022 Core Update launches

Not even the time to get familiar with the Helpful Content Update (which, for the record, completed its rollout only last September 9, as made official by Google) and here comes a new upheaval to the search engine’s SERPs, and this time universal: where in fact HCU affects only English searches, we are now faced with a more classic broad core update that affects all versions of Google at the same time.
