"Google has rolled out fewer confirmed search ranking updates in 2025, then it did in all the past years where Google confirmed these updates. Google rolled out only four confirmed updates in 2025, before than seven in 2024, nine in 2023 and ten in 2022 and 2021. I posted my Google algorithm year in review story at Search Engine Land last week and wanted to share the infographic I made here for that."
"2025 Google Core Updates 2025 Google Spam Updates Let's not forget we had countless unconfirmed updates that we covered here and none of those were confirmed by Google. I love how Gagan Ghotra used Notebook LM to make these infographics based on my coverage of those updates - he posted these on X: Forum discussion at X."
Google confirmed just four search ranking updates in 2025, a decline from seven in 2024, nine in 2023, and ten in both 2022 and 2021. Numerous unconfirmed search fluctuations were observed throughout 2025, but none received formal confirmation from Google. Visual breakdowns distinguish 2025 Google Core Updates and 2025 Google Spam Updates. Infographics were produced using Notebook LM to visualize the reported update coverage. Those infographics were shared on X alongside a forum discussion to capture community reactions and further analysis of the confirmed and unconfirmed changes.
