An interesting case here is Shopify, who’s domain is gaining in many countries.

Shopify domain visibility (daily) across four countries.

The informational content in /blog is seeing large gains.

Effects, both positive and negative, have been seen across a range of sectors but at this stage data shows a stronger effect for informational rankings.  Here’s an example:

In the image, we see Macys’ website rising in visibility across their commercial pages. Analysis reveals that visibility is gaining in both commercial and informational searches for these ecommerce directories.

A list of large-visibility domains that have lost a significant percentage can be seen in the image. 

Tables of winners and losers will be added below in the week starting 7th July.

How to check for domain changes during a Google Core Update

Firstly, understanding the Visibility Index is going to help you. The VI is a transparent and well-defined KPI that can be used at any level of a domain. For example, you can monitor your informational content directory, or the eCommerce directory in your website. The domain overview tutorial will help you to access this information in the toolbox.

Core updates take a few days before they take effect and you’ll see that in the daily Visibility Index chart when changes are detected near the date of the Core Update.

The change detection pin, seen in the images above, will show automatically if there have been significant changes near to the date of the pin. You can also set your own pins.
