I’m seeing some early indicators of one more unconfirmed Google Search rating replace with extra volatility touching down at present, February tenth. The chatter inside the search engine optimisation group is beginning to spike, and among the third-party monitoring instruments are displaying volatility.
This appears unrelated to the February 2026 Google Uncover core replace, which began on February fifth.
Beforehand we had volatilioty throughout February 2nd, January twenty ninth onwayrds after which round January twenty sixth/twenty seventh, then January twenty first, January fifteenth, January twelfth and January sixth. Previous to that, we had the Google December 2025 core replace kick off on December 11, 2025 at round 12:25 pm ET and ended on December 29, 2025 at round 2:05 pm ET. It had two spikes, one on December thirteenth and the opposite on December twentieth.
