Google has officially launched its August 2024 core updates and it is expected to take a full month to roll out fully. The tech giant has stated that the update will foster functional content from independent and smaller publishers.

Creators have been asked to make more meaningful content to make sure that the content published has quality. The March 2024 core update was the update before the Google August 2024 core update and it served to be the largest core update yet.
