This week, Search Engine Journal shared John Mueller's insights on how long it takes to recover

from a core algorithm update.

If you don't know who John is, he's Google's top webmaster trends analyst, and he's definitely

someone you need to listen to when he speaks.

Mueller also discussed what bloggers should do when they lose their rankings after a core update.

Here's the question that he was asked.

Do websites need to wait for the next core update to recover their lost rankings?

Mueller responded by saying, with core updates, we're essentially trying to re-understand

how the relevance of the search results are.

And it's not something that requires a site to wait for the next update to have a chance

to be seen differently.

They can continue working on things and things can improve over time.

you've been working towards and you'll see a bigger change in your site's performance as well.

But in general, sites don't have to wait for the next bigger update in order to start seeing

changes. So from that point of view, I wouldn't stop working on things once you think you've

done the right thing. But I'd continue working in that direction. You should see at least some

incremental improvements over time.
