Google releases April 2023 reviews update
Google has released the April 2023 reviews update. It goes beyond its prior product reviews updates to evaluate reviews of nearly any reviewable topic, including:
- Services and businesses.
- Destinations.
- Media (e.g., games, movies).
Announcement. The update was announced on Twitter:
Google also updated its Search Status dashboard at 9:08 PDT with the following: “Released the April 2023 reviews update, which now covers reviews about products, services, and things. Learn more about how to write high quality reviews.”
Why we care. If your website publishes any type of review content, this will be an important update to watch. Check your rankings to see whether your organic traffic improves, declines or stays the same.
