<b>Anatomy of a core update rollout window</b>
This week on the radar: how to read the multi-week rollout, not just the announcement.

Confirmed:
— <a href="https://developers.google.com/search/blog">Google Search Central Blog</a> — official posts always give a start date but rollout typically spans 2–4 weeks; treat day-one rank moves as noise.
— <a href="https://status.search.google.com/">Search Status Dashboard</a> — the only source that marks the exact "fully rolled out" timestamp; bookmark it for verdict-day analysis.

Chatter:
— <a href="https://www.seroundtable.com/">Search Engine Roundtable</a> — Barry Schwartz documents the "second wave" pattern: a quieter volatility spike 7–10 days after the headline.

Read this:
— <a href="https://moz.com/blog">Moz Blog</a> — on why mid-rollout recovery reports are usually premature; wait for the dashboard's close before drawing conclusions.

One to bookmark: the Search Status Dashboard — it ends the "is it over yet?" guesswork better than any tracker.
