<b>What to do when an update is felt but unconfirmed</b>
This week on the radar: a protocol for the gray zone before Google says anything.

Confirmed:
— <a href="https://status.search.google.com/">Search Status Dashboard</a> — if it's silent but trackers are red, you're in an unconfirmed event; document it, don't react yet.
— <a href="https://www.semrush.com/sensor/">Semrush Sensor</a> — sustained multi-day elevation (not a single spike) is the threshold most practitioners use to call it real.

Chatter:
— <a href="https://www.seroundtable.com/">Roundtable</a> — Barry often names unconfirmed updates days before Google acknowledges them.

Read this:
— <a href="https://twitter.com/searchliaison">SearchLiaison</a> — sometimes confirms "normal fluctuations" to calm false alarms.

One to bookmark: Roundtable's unconfirmed-update tag — the earliest credible heads-up you'll get.
