July 2022 Product Reviews Update
July product review update does not contain any new guidance. It is important for websites that publish product reviews to continue to focus on meeting Google’s high-quality content criteria.
Your site won’t be affected by this update if you don’t publish product reviews. This update does not apply to you if you sell products that customers can review on your website, since that’s not considered a review. Websites that publish long-form product reviews are affected by this update.
