Google’s March 2026 broad core update<\/a> has officially completed rolling out. Google announced this via X this morning and the Search Status Dashboard has been updated to document the rollout. The update took 12 days and 4 hours to complete, which is not unusual. It can often take about two weeks to complete. The dashboard says the rollout was complete as of April 8, 2026 at 9:12 AM ET.
The March 2026 broad core update was a weird one. I’ve been documenting what I’ve been seeing via my “Core Update Notes” on X and it just didn’t seem as powerful as some previous broad core updates. For example, the December 2025 broad core update<\/a> was huge. We saw the update land quickly and it was extremely powerful. The March 2026 broad core update didn’t land quickly and just didn’t seem to be as powerful. Sure, there were definitely sites that saw big surges or drops, but overall the update seemed less powerful.
I was running the visibility reporting for thousands of sites that were previously impacted by major algorithm updates and the volatility was not off the charts for most of the sites… Some saw a lot of movement, but overall that wasn’t the case.
Here is the official tweet from Google:<\/p>\n

The rollout was complete as of April 8, 2026.<\/p>\n

I will continue analyzing the update and post more about the impact on social media and my blog. Stay tuned.
