Google noted that no core update took place in May, but Barry Schwartz of Search Engine Roundtable said it was a month of intense ranking volatility or, in other words, a month of Google testing new ranking signals. Such volatility should be acknowledged in the light of information presented in the Google API leak (May 2024), where it became known that Google attaches higher importance to link diversity among pages of a site in comparison to the number of links. This change promotes the notion of marketers targeting organic and quality backlinks on various pieces of content.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ad6d20 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ad6d20\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe update represents increased emphasis on local SEO by Indian marketers. India has an audience of more than 700 million internet users, and 80 percent of them will use mobile devices to search the internet, so it is impossible to ignore optimizing towards these people through local intent and mobile performance. One of the examples is a company based in Delhi that specializes in selling products online; after they added customer feedback and localized business terms such as the best electronics store in Delhi to Google Business Profile, it increased traffic by 30 percent. This shows a great potential of achieving great returns in local markets when it comes to being close to the Google users centered approach.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7eeba61 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7eeba61\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/webtechneeq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/google-may-1.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3783\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webtechneeq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/google-may-1.webp 1000w, https:\/\/webtechneeq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/google-may-1-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/webtechneeq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/google-may-1-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a7f9f7 afford elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6a7f9f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Actionable Strategies for Marketers\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e8df2c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1e8df2c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTo thrive under Google\u2019s May 2025 algorithm update and ensure AdSense compliance, marketers must adopt a holistic approach that blends content excellence, technical optimization, and ethical SEO practices.
