Google has officially released its March 2025 Core Update today.
According to Google’s search status dashboard, “Released the March 2025 core update. The rollout may take up to 2 weeks to complete.”
This latest algorithm adjustment is expected to bring significant changes to search rankings across various sectors, with websites potentially experiencing notable fluctuations in traffic and visibility during the implementation period.
What We Know So Far
As is typical with Google’s core updates, specific details remain limited. However, Google has consistently emphasized its commitment to rewarding high-quality, authoritative content that demonstrates expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (E-A-T). The two-week rollout timeline matches previous core updates, giving webmasters a clear expectation of when the changes will be fully implemented.
Expected Impact
Based on patterns from previous core updates, we anticipate:
- A gradual rollout over the officially confirmed two-week period
- Varying impacts across different industries and search verticals
- Potential volatility in rankings, particularly for YMYL (Your Money, Your Life) websites
- Renewed emphasis on content depth and topical authority
Recommendations for Website Owners
While there’s no specific “fix” for sites negatively impacted by core updates, Google continues to recommend focusing on creating high-quality content.
At Adogy, we suggest the following strategye:
- Monitor your analytics closely throughout the two-week rollout period to identify any significant changes in organic traffic or rankings
- Assess content quality across your site, particularly for pages experiencing ranking changes
- Review Google’s quality guidelines, especially relating to E-A-T principles
- Avoid making reactive, large-scale changes until the update has fully rolled out
- Focus on user experience signals, including Core Web Vitals and overall site performance
Industry Response
Early industry chatter suggests this update may place greater tweaks on their EEAT evaluations. However, as with all core updates, the full impact will only become clear as the rollout progresses over the next two weeks.
