lilyraynyc · x · 2026-10-05
Well-known SEO columnist Lily Ray published an analysis predicting a major Google update is imminent, potentially on the scale of Panda, Penguin, the Helpful Content Update or the March 2024 core update. She bases this on Google's recent communications and documentation edits, and expects the update to target low-quality scaled AI content, tactics that manipulate AI search answers, and paid/inauthentic mentions. Top SEO voices like Glen Gabe, Marie Haynes and Cyrus Shepard share the forecast — a clear warning for sites betting on scaled AI content.
