🔄 Our Response to Google’s March 2024 Core Update
At MedicareWire, we’ve proudly served seniors with independent Medicare plan research since 2012. In March 2024, Google released a major core algorithm update that significantly impacted many trusted sites, including ours. While we continue to believe in the value of our work, we’ve taken this moment to reflect, improve, and level up across the board.
🔍 What Happened
Following the March 2024 update, many of our plan location and detail pages lost visibility in Google Search. These pages contain licensed data from CMS, detailed plan benefits, and educational resources designed to help people make informed decisions about their healthcare without sales and marketing interference.
🧠 What We’ve Changed
- UX/UI Overhaul: Pages now feature faster load times, easier navigation, mobile-first layouts, and fully accessible HTML markup.
- Schema.org Enhancements: We’ve integrated robust structured data including

- First-Party Data Disclosure: We clearly identify our data sources, include last-modified dates, and provide direct links to CMS.gov datasets.
- Compliance & Editorial Integrity: We follow CMS marketing guidelines and maintain editorial independence. We also disclose all compensation and partner relationships.
