Heads up, everyone! Google just rolled out its August Core Update, and things are getting interesting. Keep an eye on your websites, as Pat has noticed some significant changes in page 1 visibility over the last month.

Reddit's been making waves, with a 5% bump in visibility. Speaking of which, forums have been a hot topic in the industry lately, given their impressive growth over the past year. Pat's tip: don't underestimate the power of user-generated content – it's going to be crucial moving forward.

In big news, Google has officially been declared a monopoly. Tune in to hear Pat's thoughts on how this might impact search. He'll also dive into the Newzdash Study, which shows Google sending more discovery traffic but less search traffic to publishers.

This month, Pat covers -

June 2026 Edition
The June 2026 edition of 30|30 highlighted a search landscape heavily disrupted by Google’s "vicious" May Core Update, which triggered widespread visibility drops for large and small sites alike . While third-party aggregators like WebMD suffered a steep 51% year-over-year decline , review-driven platforms like ZocDoc surged 81% , proving that modern algorithms favor official institutions and genuine, community-led brand conversations. Meanwhile, AI Overviews have stabilized to appear roughly 48% of the time, reinforcing a broader market shift from traditional domain metrics to external brand authority.
