I checked the list of Google updates provided by Sistrix, cross-referenced it with the official Google Search Status Dashboard, and manually counted the number of updates each month had over the years (counting concurrent rollouts like Core + Spam as separate updates).
Here's the full updated list:
* June - 12
* October - 10
* March - 9
* August - 9
* September - 8
* May - 8
* December - 7
* November - 7
* February - 6
* April - 5
* July - 4
* January - 3

What's the worst month for an SEO to go on vacation?
JUNE!
Since my last research in 2023, Google has rolled out a ton of new algorithms. I've updated the data considering the entire history of Google updates up to March 2026, and these are the months with the highest probability of a Google algorithm update:
* June (12 updates)
* October (10 updates)
* March (9 updates)
* August (9 updates)

Do you remember all the "Just Ship It" posts?
"Don't think; just ship it."
Well, people started shipping. That's why there's so much junk and spam nowadays.
LLMs are lazy and often rely on the title and meta description provided by Bing/Google for initial retrieval rather than parsing the entire webpage.
This makes meta-level optimization important for getting cited.
Thus, list your brand as #1 (the winner) in the titles of your "best of" listicles. 🙂
Although traffic is declining, everyone is happy with the annotations in GSC.
Oh well.
To those advocating for the use of semantic triples (subject-predicate-object) to write copy, have you ever tried reading that type of monotonous, robotic text?
It's exactly the kind of writing that will make people leave a page.
