Good morning, Marketers, did you spend all weekend stressing about your Core Web Vitals scores?

We didn’t think so. But how time flies! It’s hard to believe Google’s page experience update started rolling out a year ago this month. So enterprise SEO platform BrightEdge did some research into Core Web Vitals scores for top ranked sites on 500 keywords in four markets: B2B technology, education, finance and retail.

The research revealed that the Core Web Vitals scores have significantly improved by as much as 58%. We can’t say for sure that Core Web Vitals are the sole reason for the top rankings, but it’s safe to say that smart SEO will always positively influence rankings and visibility.
