It has been a while since I last covered changes in Google Search rankings, but I am now seeing signs that ranking fluctuations are increasing again. Most of these signals are coming from SEO tracking tools, while the wider SEO community appears to be focused on other topics.
It is also important to remember that the March 2026 Core Update began on March 27 and was completed on April 8, 2026.
The latest changes may still be developing, so it could take some time before their impact becomes visible across all websites.
So, what am I seeing?
The first signs are coming from the tracking tools. Some of these tools have adjusted their data and measurements in response to the continued high level of movement in Google Search rankings.

‘’I think what a lot of people are seeing here is not just ranking volatility but traffic redistribution.’’
