In the course of this update, the Core Web Vitals \u2013 a set of metrics evaluating the user experience on a website \u2013 became an official ranking factor. So, in case you still haven\u2019t optimized your Core Web Vitals, now\u2019s the time!

Google <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/blog\/2021\/08\/update-to-generating-page-titles\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">officially confirmed this update<\/a> shortly after that and explained that the new system improves page titles whenever Google deems this necessary (e.g. in cases of keyword stuffing).<\/p>\n<p>But unfortunately, Google\u2019s \u201cimprovements\u201d didn\u2019t always yield good results\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seobility.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bad-rewrite.png\" alt=\"example of a bad rewrite\" width=\"660\" height=\"132\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4791 contentimage\" \/><br \/>\n<small><a href=\"https:\/\/moz.com\/blog\/title-tag-rewrite-case-study\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<p>\u2026 which is the reason why this update was heavily criticized by many. Fortunately, Google heard the feedback of the SEO community and further improved the system for generating page titles in September!<\/p>\n<p>As Google is now rewriting more page titles than in the past, you should definitely <strong>keep an eye on the titles of your most important pages<\/strong>. The Performance report in Google Search Console lets you monitor the average <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seobility.net\/en\/wiki\/ctr-click-through-rate\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">click-through rate<\/a> for individual pages and for your overall website:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seobility.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/performance-report.png\" alt=\"monitor your CTR in Google Search Console\" width=\"1591\" height=\"488\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5406 contentimage\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seobility.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/performance-report.png 1591w, https:\/\/www.seobility.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/performance-report-768x236.png 768w, https:\/\/www.seobility.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/performance-report-1536x471.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1591px) 100vw, 1591px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In case you notice significant drops, you can use Google search to check if this could be due to rewritten page titles.

Starting during the second Coronavirus wave, we were not able to kick off the year with a happy reunion after our Christmas break. Instead, we had to spend the first weeks and months in 2021 with remote work and video calls, working together from a distance.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, we all felt a big relief when we were finally able to return to the office in early summer and see each other face to face again, instead of talking to each other over our laptop screens. Especially, spending the lunch breaks together had been missed by all of us:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CQgQJTPtRRW\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
