Google recently announced the introduction of two new web crawlers aimed at enhancing their search capabilities. These crawlers are designed to improve the efficiency and comprehensiveness of Google's indexing process. The first crawler, dubbed "Crawler-A," focuses on identifying and indexing new content more quickly, while "Crawler-B" is tasked with updating existing indexed content more frequently. This development underscores Google's commitment to providing the most up-to-date and relevant search results for users. The launch of these new crawlers is expected to significantly impact the way content is discovered and ranked on the search engine, offering a more dynamic and responsive search experience.

Google announced two new crawlers that are for scraping images and videos for research and development purposes. Two new crawlers designed for "research and development"—scraping image and video content—were made public by Google. It is assumed that should publishers choose to ban the new crawlers, there will be no effect on ranking, even though this isn't stated directly in the documentation.

Google Helpfulness Signals Might Change

Google might adjust the helpful content signals so that new pages can rank. This is why some sites may not see improvement. John Mueller of Google hinted at potential adjustments to the site's beneficial content signals that might permit new pages to rank. However, there is reason to think that even if the adjustment is implemented, it might not be sufficient to be helpful. That meant that an entire site would be classified as unhelpful and become unable to rank, regardless if some pages were helpful.
