Thank you for explaining BERT Update so clearly. Never before could really find out what has changed. I only knew that connect needs to have right keywords and you need to build link!

HI Cornelia,

Landed here to search more regarding BERT Update.

Almost 1 month passed but I still saw fluctuation in ranking for one of my client’s websites. Ranking dropped suddenly after an update but now improving week by week. Hopefully, it will stable and regain top positions soon!

Thanks for the great article!

Hey steve, I agree that local search queries are being affected. I think google now processes the local queries very well. For example, if a user searches for ‘ (any service) near me’, google displays results in that area and not return the sites wit titles that contain particularly the word ‘near me’.(It doesn’t just match the keywords blindly now, rather the intent’) They know that now, ‘near me’ means ‘in NYC” or ‘in LA.’

Thanks for going into detail on this. A lot of SEOs are running fear tactics around this update but from what I can see there is nothing to be afraid of. If anything, there is more reason to invest in content marketing.

I’m really interested for this update.

This will help users to get the most appropriate result from the web, and those content creators who create their unique content.

I think this update will penalize those copycats, who always seeks to copy others content and publish on their own website with little updation.

Extremely well written article and so full of relevant information about this major google update of less than a week prior. It makes me think that the CognitiveSEO team had advance knowledge of BERT.

I can attest to the tool’s relevance to gaining featured snippets. I literally got an answerbox result for a client on my first usage of the tool. better yet, a voice search on the targeted search term got a google home response that referenced my client’s site with content I created using the cognitiveSEO tool.

I have a feeling that local SEO may be impacted as well since there are so many ways to infer proximity in a search.

Hoping for lots of empirical details about BERT to come out soonest. Even more importantly, I hope that thrr Ed next major update is named Ernie who we all know is Bert’s husband.
