Google's Core Update 2025 June Summary

Google began rolling out its June 2025 core update on June 30th, with the process expected to take up to three weeks to complete as the search giant refines its algorithms to better surface high-quality, people-first content across all languages and regions.

AI Overviews Visibility Surge AI Overviews have seen a dramatic increase in visibility across Google search results in 2025. As of June 2025, these AI-generated answers appear in 15.41% of SERPs in the UK, while reaching 23.04% in the US and varying between 13-18% across other European markets. This represents significant growth from earlier in the year, with data showing AI Overviews triggered in just 13.14% of queries in March 2025, up from 6.49% in January.

The distribution varies significantly by industry and query type, with informational queries dominating at 88.1% of AI Overview appearances. Science, health, people & society, and law & government categories have experienced the largest growth in AI Overview presence. This expansion has prompted a fundamental shift in SEO strategy from traditional link building to entity-based authority building, with schema markup becoming essential as visibility within AI emerges as the new SEO priority. Google itself reports that AI Overviews are driving over 10% increase in usage for the types of queries that show them in major markets like the US and India.

Three-Week Rollout Timeline Google announced that the June 2025 core update would take up to three weeks to complete, which is longer than the typical two-week rollout timeframe for most core updates. This extended timeline suggests a potentially more comprehensive set of changes to Google's ranking systems. The update began on June 30, 2025, at 7:34 AM PDT (10:37 AM ET, 23:37 JST), with Google planning to update its ranking release history page once the rollout is complete.

Early signs of ranking volatility were detected by SEO tracking tools starting around July 2nd, though the impact wasn't immediately felt by all websites. SEO experts recommend against making reactive changes during the rollout period and instead advise site owners to document traffic and ranking shifts, continue creating quality content that demonstrates E-E-A-T principles, and avoid over-correction while the update settles. This marks the second core update of 2025, following the March 2025 core update that rolled out approximately three and a half months earlier.

Zero-Click Search Increase The landscape of search behavior has dramatically shifted, with zero-click searches projected to reach unprecedented levels by 2025. Current data indicates approximately 60% of Google searches now end without users clicking on any website, with this figure expected to climb to 65-70% by 2025. This trend is even more pronounced on mobile devices, where about 77% of searches result in zero clicks.

Recent analysis shows the tangible impact on organic traffic, with clicks to organic search results declining from 44.2% to 40.3% in the US and from 47.1% to 43.5% in the EU/UK between March 2024 and March 2025. This shift is driven by Google's expanding array of SERP features including featured snippets, knowledge panels, and AI Overviews, which provide instant answers directly on the results page. Notably, Google is keeping more traffic within its own ecosystem, with 14.3% of US searches now resulting in clicks to Google-owned properties like YouTube and Maps, up from 12.1% a year earlier. For SEO professionals, this evolution demands a strategic pivot from traffic-focused metrics to optimizing for SERP visibility and brand presence within zero-click features.

Impact on Content Creators The June 2025 core update is reshaping the content landscape with several key impacts on creators. Informational websites appear to be among the early "losers," with many experiencing ranking drops as Google prioritizes AI Overviews for direct answers on SERPs. Meanwhile, user-generated content platforms like Reddit are seeing increased visibility, continuing a trend from previous updates.

Content quality expectations have intensified, with Google specifically targeting low-value, thin pages and unedited AI-generated content for deindexing. Creators are advised to focus on demonstrating genuine expertise and first-hand experience rather than making reactive changes during the rollout period. The update reinforces Google's consistent message: create helpful, original content designed for people, not search engines. For those affected, reviewing Google's self-assessment questions on quality, trust, and relevance remains the recommended recovery approach rather than expecting new specific guidelines.
