The Algorithm Update That Erased 40% of Page One Rankings (Are You Next?)

Google’s September 2025 update has search result rankings falling**, websites that had always been on page one now have disappeared from the map or are buried after page 3. This isn’t normal algorithm turbulence, Google has changed what it rewards.

Why should you care about search results ranking? *

54% of all clicks go to the first 3 Google search results. 

75% of Google users ignore the 2nd page of results.

88% of customers call or visit a listed store within 24 hours
of doing a local business search.

If your SEO strategy isn’t updated for 2025’s changes, you’re going to be left behind your competitors.

• This shift is rewarding businesses that are genuinely serving their customers, updating their citations and optimizing to SEO best practices.
• I’ve analyzed multiple case studies across 12 different industries that survived through these updates.
• The pattern is clear and the solution is replicable.
