The Google January 2020 Core Update Is Global

Danny Sullivan from Google has confirmed that this January 2020 Core Update is global and pretty much all core updates are global – as we knew already. But it is good to have another confirmation that this past update is a global release.

That means this past update impacts all searches in all regions and in all languages – not just US/English.

Here is Danny Sullivan’s confirmation:

It’s a global update. It has (and does always unless we say otherwise) rolled out globally.

So from now on if Google doesn’t say it is not a global release, it will always be a global release – unless Google forgets to say otherwise. ????

But in all seriousness, this January core update still seems to be rolling out and is one of the bigger Google algorithm updates I’ve seen in some time. I hope to have more on this later but it is still rolling out.
