With every Google update, the rules of SEO shift, and the August 2024 Google Core Update was no exception. (More on that in a moment.)
It’s clear now more than ever: focusing solely on SEO isn’t enough.
Google is prioritizing content that provides real value. Is your staffing firm poised to adapt?
The Impact of the August 2024 Google Core Update
This latest update changed how job seekers’ queries are handled, giving preference to branded, precise searches. Job boards and companies that relied heavily on SEO-optimized landing pages are finding that those tactics don’t deliver the same results anymore.
What does this mean for you? Simply put, your content needs to do more than rank. It needs to genuinely serve your audience.
SEO vs. Useful Content: Why You Need Both
Yes, SEO helps your content get found. But if it doesn’t provide value, people won’t engage with it.
Staffing firms must shift their focus toward creating content that speaks directly to job seekers and employers. This means answering questions, offering insights, and providing actionable solutions.
