This project represents a significant investment—over 180 man-hours from my team and me, thousands of dollars in testing, and numerous late-night sessions.

The reason I have chosen to make this publicly available is to help as many people as possible that were unfairly targeted by the helpful content update. While I understand that some websites deserved the consequences, I also believe that some websites and webmasters were unjustly affected.

To those people, I hope that by sharing some of my work helps you.

If you run an SEO agency, I hope that some of my theories, data and tests help you better serve your clients. You can be the hero that rescues a struggling website.

If you're an SEO professional, then the data might make more informed decisions, saving you time, money and effort.

Should you feel this resources valuable, feel free to share this page within your professional network, within Facebook groups, Slack/Skype/Discord chats and forums.

And should you wish to further support me in any way, I invite you to check out On-Page.ai. Created with Google's best practices at its foundation, the platform aims to optimize your rankings by staying ahead of Google's frequent updates. One of my main motivations for keeping up with the latest SEO trends is to continually refine On-Page.ai, ensuring it embodies the most effective ranking strategies. I'm confident that it can be a valuable asset in ranking your website online.
