Improving Google Rankings After Taking an HCU Hit (Update)

Following up on my previous WAvlog regarding this topic (post), I want to share how 7 posts I've updated on my Nature site have done over the past 28 days vs the previous ones. In 90%+ of cases there has been a steady improvement in rankings and clicks across the board.

The basic idea is to stick to old school SEO methods, but make the content a bit easier to read and more organized, to the point. I also changed a few titles around to do this, but it seems to be vibing with Google.

Note: This approach I'm using is ideally recommended for people who have existing sites that have taken a hit from the HCU updates in Google.

Silly question. How did you set up the comparing dates in GSC?
I didn´t see it on the video and didn´t know it was possible.

Hi Johann next to the dates, you'll see a tab that says compare. Click that to do a comparison.
