If you noticed a sudden change in your website’s rankings or a drop in your traffic after the November 2024 update, you’re not imagining it. Like many Google Core Updates, this one targeted:
-
Content quality and relevance
-
Domain authority and trust signals
-
Link profiles (natural vs. manipulative)
-
User experience and on-page engagement
At Virginia SEO Pros, we immediately saw movement in multiple industries — some businesses saw rankings drop, others spiked ahead. The difference came down to one thing: who was ready, and who wasn’t.
Our Response: Fast Action = SEO Survival
Because we live and breathe SEO, our team was able to act quickly, minimizing impact and even capitalizing on the update for many of our clients. Our strategy?

This constant cycle of refinement is the only way to survive in today’s search landscape.
Recommendations for Adapting to the November 2024 Update
If your site was impacted, or you want to future-proof your SEO:
-
Focus on E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness)
Google is placing higher value on quality, credible, people-first content. -
Audit Your Content & Clean Up Weak Pages
Outdated, thin, or irrelevant content will hurt you. Prune or rewrite as needed. -
Fix Technical SEO Issues
Site speed, mobile-friendliness, and crawl efficiency still matter — and always will. -
Strengthen Backlinks — Naturally
Focus on quality backlinks from relevant, trustworthy domains. Ditch spammy link-building tactics.
The New SEO Reality: Updates Are Nonstop
The November 2024 Google Core Update landed only a month before the December Spam Update. This kind of back-to-back rollout looks like it’s becoming the new normal — and businesses that can’t keep up will fall behind.
Is your team prepared to monitor changes, analyze data, and implement the right fixes in real time? Or is it time to consider outsourcing to specialists who do nothing but SEO?
