Google has released its December 2025 core update, marking the company’s final major search algorithm revision for the year.
The confirmation came on Tuesday through an announcement posted by Google Search Central on X.
In the brief notice, the platform wrote, “Today we released the December 2025 core update. We’ll update our ranking release history page when the rollout is complete.”
Okay News reports that the update is now live globally, with Google directing users to its official status page for continued tracking until the rollout concludes.
Core updates are known to influence how websites appear in search results, often triggering noticeable shifts in rankings as Google reevaluates content quality, relevance, and overall user experience.
Website owners and publishers across Nigeria and beyond are already monitoring potential changes in traffic patterns as the update propagates.
Though Google traditionally avoids giving specifics, core updates typically encourage publishers to improve expertise, originality, and clarity in their content.
This rollout will continue over the coming days, after which Google will mark the update as complete on its ranking history page.
