Google has completed the deployment of its March 2025 core update, as reported on its Search Status Dashboard. This update, initiated on March 13 and concluded on the 27th, adhered to the promised duration of approximately two weeks, a typical period for this type of implementation.

Google’s core updates are significant modifications to its search algorithms and systems with the objective of enhancing the relevance and quality of search results presented to users. During the deployment of this update, fluctuations were observed in the volatility of search results, especially towards the end of the process.

According to indicators like that of Semrush, the volatility in search results in Spain caused by this update has been rather limited:

As we can see, these data may be biased by the sample size of the market, since in the United States the same indicator does indeed show evidence of significant changes in the ordering of results.

 

So what now?

It is important to note that although these updates may cause changes in website rankings, Google does not provide specific actions to recover lost positions. The general recommendation is to focus on offering useful, relevant, and high-quality content for users. Review how your ranking has changed for your main sources of traffic… and keep your fingers crossed. 😉

Google is expected to continue implementing improvements throughout the year to highlight valuable content from various creators, in line with its commitment to continuously enhance search experience. Let us remember that in 2024 we witnessed up to four of these core updates, the last of them at Christmas. If this year’s pattern follows, the next core update will be in August.

Will this schedule be fulfilled?
