However, I recommend a few time-tested practices to face Google updates successfully having the least impact on ranking- keep exploring Google blogs, focus on E-A-T in SEO\u00a0 (Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness), get website audit periodically, improve content optimization continually, and be responding on social media platforms, etc.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1656501169919\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Will I see more Google updates in the years 2022, 2023, and after?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes.
