<b>A monitoring stack for the before/during/after of an update</b>
This week on the radar: what to watch at each stage, attributed.

Before:
— <a href="https://status.search.google.com/">Search Status Dashboard</a> — set the baseline; note the last confirmed update's close date.

During:
— <a href="https://www.semrush.com/sensor/">Semrush Sensor</a> — watch category volatility daily to see if your niche is in scope.

After:
— <a href="https://search.google.com/search-console">Search Console</a> — compare 28-day query/page deltas once the dashboard marks rollout complete; this is your ground truth, not third-party trackers.

Read this:
— <a href="https://www.gsqi.com/marketing-blog/">Glenn Gabe</a> — on segmenting GSC data by query type to isolate the real impact.

One to bookmark: Search Console's comparison view — third-party tools estimate, GSC measures.
