Earlier this week I reported that we were not seeing huge changes yet for the March 2022 Google Products Reviews update. Well, it seems like some of the tools and a number of SEOs are now noticing larger changes specific to sites that would match the product reviews categories.
I am seeing some more chatter and some SEOs, like Glenn Gabe and also Lily Ray, are posting screenshots of sites they track in the sector seeing larger changes. Also, the tracking tools, some of them, are starting to show a larger upswing in volatility.
Charts Of Specific Sites
Here are some charts from Glenn Gabe, Lily Ray and Marie Haynes of specific sites they track in the product reviews sector showing changes – likely from the product reviews update:
I mentioned yesterday the March 2022 Product Reviews Update was mild so far. Well, I’m seeing more movement now (with some seeing initial movement this week). Still not like the previous two PRUs volatility-wise (yet), but more movement for sure. Just a heads-up. 🙂 pic.twitter.com/fBhBlNi1me

And here is more movement I’m seeing across sites with reviews content. Some sites are surging after dropping with previous Product Reviews Updates, or vice versa. And like I saw with the December PRU, there are dueling machine learning systems at play (core updates vs. PRU). pic.twitter.com/p3t2IfP3LB

And remember, just because a site surges doesn’t mean it’s back to where it once was. Here’s an example of a nice surge, but it’s only a partial recovery. The drop from the December Product Reviews Update was huge… We’ll see where it ends up once the March PRU is done. pic.twitter.com/kLPepIxnlJ
