The Google December 2025 core update finished rolling out and triggered notable site movements and spam surges on some domains. AI-generated recipe results produced severely poor or misleading output described as a major quality problem. Bing experimented with expanded People Also Ask features and Google tested several merchant panel and Maps UI changes, including removal of the hotel website button. Microsoft Advertising added an all-accounts tab and hidden opt-in settings appeared in the Google Ads Locations Manager. The search community observed large indexing anomalies and mourned the loss of industry contributor Andy Drinkwater.
