The new update includes:

– Improved preprocessing and tokenization techniques to make it easier for BERT to work with text data.

– New “soft” attention that allows the model to focus on specific parts of a sentence, rather than just the whole sentence. This improves BERT’s performance when generating text from an existing sentence or paragraph.

Initially, 2 weeks’ keywords are fluctuating and ranking dropped suddenly. Now it’s improving from the last 10 days along with fluctuation. Don’t know how much time it will take to regain the same position!

This explains why one of my sites started to have issues, I changed the content on one of my pages a few days ago to be in line with the query and boom, it’s coming back up!

There was a clear drop between 22nd October and 3rd November so, either the new algorithm had to settle and calculate the new rankings or they tweaked the search engine to calculate the results differently

interpreting intent = reading the query correctly, yep

But often, with professional services, new clients don’t know what they need. So I wonder if the BERT update will penalise law firms’ and accountants’ websites because of this?

Hi, Jez as your point Google SERP working based on your localization even before BERT update. For example your query “house painter Cardiff” which shows the result based on your location if you were in the UK or Australia.

Just over 28 days I’ve lost half of my clicks, 2.5 times my impressions and average position has risen over 2.5 points.

Do you happen to know what causes this anomaly and how can I fix it?
It is very widespread wordpress issue for now.
