Google’s March 2025 Core Update: Not Every Site Will Recover

Google’s March 2025 Core Update

California: Google’s most recent core update, released in March 2025, aims to bring forth more pertinent and satisfying content. Not all sites, though, should anticipate complete recovery, not even with the updates yet to come.

Danny Sullivan, Google’s Search Liaison, explained on X that improvements are being made, yet certain sites will never be able to reclaim their previous rankings. “This doesn’t mean all sites will go back up to wherever they were,” he said, underlining that even good-willed creators will not always deliver an adequately satisfying page experience.

Google recognizes that its ranking systems require improvement but emphasizes that various ranking systems affect sites differently. Some sites may be affected until the particular system that affected them changes, and this might never occur.

Search itself is evolving. Sullivan observed that Google’s results have dramatically changed since 2023, now favoring things such as social content. As search behavior and algorithms change, ranking strategies that were effective in the past may no longer be effective.

Google continues to focus on enhancing its ranking systems well into 2025 and beyond. Some sites will experience gains in upcoming updates, while others will have to evolve or risk disappearing from search results.

However, to content creators, the message is clear: Quality content is not sufficient—user experience and flexibility are equally as important in today’s ever-changing world of search.
