Google releases June 2025 core update

What’s changing in SEO rankings, search traffic and visibility?

Rolling out over three weeks

Google has launched the June 2025 Core Update, the second such update this year. The rollout is expected to take up to three weeks, bringing major volatility in search rankings and traffic.

What is a core update and why it matters

Core updates are broad changes to Google’s algorithms that affect how pages are ranked. They aim to better align results with user intent and content quality. The June 2025 update comes just three months after the March 2025 update.

Affected? Here’s what Google says

Google hasn’t shared new guidance, but reiterated the essentials:

  • There’s nothing specific you can do to “fix” rankings.
  • A ranking drop doesn’t mean your content is wrong.
  • Recovery can take time, often until the next update.
  • Focus on helpful, people-first content, not gaming search engines.
