2) What to look for in early analytics data to see if you’ve been hit

3) Google has told us specifically how to recover - It’s all about content and E-A-T

4) Why Google’s core update questions are so important - machine learning likely plays a role!

5) A bit on how we analyze competitors’ pages after a core update hit
