What Google changed, and whether it matters to you

Algorithm updates get written up by people selling recovery packages. These are written by the person who builds the sites, for someone who has a business to run and eleven minutes to decide whether to care.

Every date, quote and number is linked to where it came from. Nothing here is a prediction.

Why this exists

Most of what you read about Google is written to sell you a recovery package

An update lands, and within a day there are two hundred posts explaining it, almost all of them written by someone who has not read the source and is not going to link it. Half of them invent a timeline. A few invent the update.

These posts link every source, name a date only when a source gives one, and say “nothing happened this week” when nothing happened. If a post here is wrong, the link to check it is at the bottom of the page.

Order your site

No call, no quote, no proposal.

$1,000 covers the build and the first 3 months. Pay, fill in one form, and it's booked against this month's capacity. Bigger job than that? Text your trade and towns and we'll quote it by hand.

Start your site — $1,000

You own the site from day one. The monthly cancels any month.

Or text us — bigger job, or a question first.Or call the same number and talk it through.

No discovery call. No calendar link. No sales pipeline.

Or fill this out and get a fixed quote by text

Name, number and trade is enough to quote from. The rest just means the number you get back is exact instead of a range.
