Google’s Medic Update was a push for the search engine giant to help improve the identification of authority and expertise online

Google Medic Update: Google's Core Search Update Had Big Impact On Health/Medical Sites. It is actually shocking to me since Google said this was a global and core update - which normally means it impacts all flavors of sites, in all areas, everywhere.

It’s called the Medic update because Barry Schwartz, one of the most prolific writers in the search industry, called it that. It doesn’t mean this update only affected medical sites.
