On September 12, 2022 Google announced a Core Algorithm Update.
The official Google list of announced updates mentioned that it will take up to two weeks to complete the rolling out.
This is the second broad core algorithm update of the year 2022, and the first was the broad core update of May 2022.
This update just came out after the completion of the Google helpful content update that finished on Friday, September 9th. I am a bit surprised with this update, I mean what was the hurry?

Will This Core Update Boosy Helpful Content Update?
If this question pops up in your mind? Then I think the answer is YES! This will make more sense for this sudden core update that it will amplify the HCU to give better search results to users.
To prove my point, let’s see what Danny Sullivan has to say:
Maybe the helpful content signal alone wasn’t enough to tip the scales and produce a change in someone’s particular situation, but when we do other updates (core, product reviews), it might add into that and be more significant
Not that directly. Point is our ranking systems use a variety of signals overall, as we said: https://t.co/G6g7hvE7P2
Helpful content is weighted, so sites on the edge might not see issues. But if they also have core update issues, the combo might be more significant. pic.twitter.com/tQZcsZQHkp

What To Do?
What I think is the best way, is to be alert!
Track your search console performance of keywords and check their rankings.
You may witness drops in your rankings but wait until the roll has finished to come any conclusions..
