Google rolls out November 2026 core update

Google announced the November 10, 2026 broad core update — a global two-week rollout affecting all types of content.

Google has begun rolling out its November 2026 core update, a global change to Google Search that covers all types of content across regions and languages. The rollout launched on November 10, 2026 at around 1:07 pm ET and may take up to 2 weeks to complete.

Google said, "This is a regular update designed to better surface relevant, satisfying content for searchers from all types of sites."

The update is not a penalty. Instead, it is intended to promote or reward great web pages by updating some of Google's "core systems".

What Google announced

Google confirmed the launch through its Search status dashboard and posted on LinkedIn:

Today we released the November 2026 core update to Google Search.

This is a regular update designed to better surface relevant, satisfying content for searchers from all types of sites. The rollout may take up to 2 weeks to complete.

Google reiterated the announcement in its update details:

Today we released the November 2026 core update to Google Search.

This is a regular update designed to better surface relevant, satisfying content for searchers from all types of sites. The rollout may take up to 2 weeks to complete.

The company described the release as a "regular update."

Effects extend beyond search rankings

Core updates can affect Google Discover and other search features, including featured snippets. For sites negatively affected, the source points to reviewing content and assessing whether it can be improved in line with Google's core update advice.

Google also makes periodic refreshes to the algorithm, though it may not announce those changes.

Significant ranking movements were reported earlier this week, before the official announcement. Whether those movements were connected to this rollout is not verified.

Earlier updates in 2026

The November release follows two earlier core updates listed for 2026. The March 2026 Core Update ran from March 27, 2026 through April 8, 2026. The May 2026 Core Update began on May 21, 2026 and finished on June 2, 2026.

For the latest release, Google has given a rollout window of up to 2 weeks.

Okay... we get it, you are not a "normal" agency... but that's what everyone says right?

Well yes, however

We know business growth

Every single person on our agency team has spent a lot of time in the field either running their own business or working for larger marketing agencies. We have all put in the time responding to leads, helping customers, scheduling and doing services. This gives us a massive advantage when making decisions.

We stand behind our word, always

One thing that has always been very special to us, is the fact that (excluding spam / people that never used our services) we do not have any bad reviews. This absolutely does not mean we have never had unhappy clients, but if it happens, we make it right, and stand behind our promises.

Traditional strategies don't work for home services

We have seen, time and time again, other agencies using strategies and structuring campaigns the way that they are technically supposed to. Most of these "best practices" that are taught in our industry, simply do not transfer into local lead gen. This is partially because we do have a much different target audience, and are typically spending less, however optimizing for website traffic does not work here.

We really do care, about you, and about this industry altogether

We have been there, jumping into starting a home service business, struggling, and doing everything wrong. It's humbling. Our team has all felt the highs and lows, which is why we get so excited for our clients to win, we know how good it feels.
