We are less than a week after the Google March 2025 core update finished rolling out and we are seeing some heated volatility again, maybe more heated than what we saw during the last core update. The new volatility seemed to kick off on Wednesday, April 2nd, and continued through today, April 3rd. Although it seems the bulk of the volatility was yesterday, Wednesday, April 2nd.
Is Google hitting us so soon with a new unconfirmed Google Search ranking update . I am seeing both a spike in chatter across the SEO community around Google Search ranking fluctuations, and also many of the third-party Google Search tracking tools are spiking. I am not going to name this the Google April Fools Day update because technically it seemed to be triggered the day after.
.. Let's start with the tools.
Here are what the tools are showing, many are seeing a spike on April 2nd: Semrush : Advanced Web Rankings : SimilarWeb : Mozcast : Cognitive SEO : Accuranker : Wincher : Algoroo : Mangools : Sistrix : Data For SEO : SERPstat : LSG Home Services Tracker : Here is some of the chatter from the SEO community both on WebmasterWorld and here : So what are you all seeing?
