Google has officially completed the rollout of its March 2025 core update, the first core update of 2025. The update began on March 13, 2025, and finished approximately 14 days later on March 27, 2025.
This update follows the standard pattern of Google's core updates, which aim to enhance its core ranking system to deliver more relevant and helpful search results to users.
The March 2025 core update comes after the previous December 2024 core update. Despite expectations that core updates would occur more frequently throughout 2025, Google took several months before releasing this new core update.
As with all core updates, website owners and SEO professionals should monitor their analytics to understand how this update may have affected their search visibility and rankings.
