December delivered a powerful one-two punch with back-to-back updates that left websites across the digital landscape reeling. In a significant shift that's been months in the making, Reddit's dominance is finally showing cracks, with a notable 6% visibility decline. Our favorite industry expert Pat couldn't resist pointing out he saw this coming.

But here's what's really turning heads – Google just revealed they're accelerating their pace on core updates, potentially doubling their frequency. Meanwhile, for the first time ever, their global search market share has dipped below the mighty 90% mark. Pat's taking a measured view on this one, suggesting that while it's a historic milestone, we shouldn't expect any dramatic shifts in the near future.

Tune in for this essential episode as we break down these seismic shifts in the search landscape. These insights into our evolving digital world are too important to miss!

April 2026 Edition
The April 30|30 webinar highlights a period of stabilization as Google’s March Core Update concluded with "very little bite" compared to the "violent" December update. While the update was relatively "boring," it successfully penalized "AI slop," whereas high-authority sites in Apparel and Health Tech—such as Shein.com and Dexcom.com—saw Year-over-Year visibility gains of 24% and 23% respectively. Government sites remained largely unaffected, with Data.gov and SBA.gov reporting flat performance through the rollout.
