In 2017, digital agency E2M published an animated infographic of Google's biggest search algorithm updates from 2016, and this year the list has been updated to show some of the biggest updates from 2017.

The infographic highlights the top Google search algorithm updates from 2017 that are worth noting. Check it out here:
