Google has released the March 2025 core update to Google Search today. This represents the first major algorithm update of the year and is expected to take approximately two weeks to fully roll out across all search results.
According to Google, this is a routine update designed to improve the search engine's ability to surface more relevant and satisfying content for users across all website categories.
The search giant notes that this update continues their ongoing efforts to prioritize content from creators through a series of improvements planned throughout 2025. Some of these enhancements have already been implemented, while additional changes will be deployed later in the year.

Website owners and SEO professionals should monitor their analytics closely during this period as core updates typically cause fluctuations in search rankings and organic traffic patterns.
