How many Algorithm Updates does Google deploy

According to Google: In 2019 we ran over 464,065 experiments, with trained external Search Raters and live tests resulting in more than 3620 improvements to SearchGoogle Most of the time, Google does not deploy one update a day, though. Oftentimes, multiple updates are deployed together within one day, followed by days without any updates. Multiple times a year Google might release what is known as a Core Update.

Google does not announce all minor updates to their Ranking Algorithm. For updates that are expected to have a big impact on a large variety of websites though, Google announces publicly on the SearchLiason Twitter account.
