Noticed! When I'm setting up some website dedicated to services (even remote), GMB seems like mandatory.

I have 4 websites with GMB's and they are all fine up to now. One of the sites with a GMB is a big national site and seems to be OK (please Google God Leave Alone).
The other 3 sites I have are national sites without GMB's and they have took a big hit.

don't think it will be that fast, lets give it 3-5 weeks
Alright, thank you.

Here's my 2 cents after doing some brief analysis
My rankings dropped off quite dramatically and some high performing keywords tumbled from page 1 to bottom or mid page 2. One of my competitors with non existent content on their site and literally no backlinks has improved in ranking in certain areas and the only thing making sense to me is load speed. As per gtmetrix my competitor is B overall where's as I'm F. I'll work on page speed from tomorrow. This competitor didn't had much traffic to begin with anyway (only around 3k/month) where as I'm at 30k so perhaps it could be that Google is just messing around with my for the time being. Another competitor who was doing 1.2M has gone down to 900k but they are a big brand and I'm sure they will crawl back.

Do you have a GMB for your site?

I'm willing to become an Apple fan boy if they develope a search engine that can compete with Search Satan aka "do no evil just money" Google.

I think newbies have no idea how the free WWW worked.
What we have now is shitty.
Google is dictating everything AND taking your money.
I mean, why in the everliving fuck does anyone want to have their content featured directly on google serps???
It's plain simply content scraping. It's Black Hat.
Google is scraping your work and showing it to their customers next to THEIR ads.
Yet you get some brilliant SEOs coming here to support this. Why does any webmaster at all support Google?

Looks like a typo, it should be GWM (google webmaster)

What's the quality of your articles? Do you have anything copied? Or does anyone else copying your articles? And how old is your site?I got massively hit by this update. Pretty much all my articles are down in the SERPs and at least 3 of them that were ranking in the top 50 are completely out starting today. This is my first experience getting negatively affected by a Google Core algorithm update. Any advice on how I can recover from this as it is extremely demotivating for a beginner blogger like myself.

Thank god I focused on building an authority blog rather than low quality niche blogs! My rankings are quite fine and many actually improved.

Yes. I think it is also targeting sites with fewer articles.

If you can make money doing this - isn't that the point - bank roobbers usually will target banks - not for the free coffee
