Daily volatility scoring — so you spot the spike before Google confirms it

Traffic Impact
Per-category traffic deltas — before, during and after every update
Aggregate traffic numbers hide the story. Indexly splits organic traffic by content category — editorial, commercial, product, resource — and shows the delta between pre-update baseline and post-update reality. So you know which content type Google rewarded and which it punished.
- Pre- vs. post-update traffic per category
- Per-page winners and losers list
- Recovery trajectory after the update completes

What customers say
Trusted by SEO teams that need to react fast
“We knew the March 2026 Core Update was rolling out before Google announced it — Indexly's volatility alert fired Friday morning. By the time competitors were panicking on Monday, we'd already triaged the affected pages.”
Pim Broekstra
SEO Manager, Center Parcs
“The category-level traffic impact view showed our editorial content was up 18% post-update while commercial pages dropped 14%. That single insight rewrote our content roadmap for the quarter.”

What does Indexly's core update monitor track?
Every confirmed Google algorithm update — Core, Spam, Helpful Content and reviews updates — with deployment dates, rollout status, daily SERP volatility, and how your tracked pages moved during and after each update.
What is SERP volatility?
SERP volatility is a 0–10 measure of how much search rankings are shifting on a given day. A baseline day is 2–3; an active core update typically pushes volatility above 7. Indexly scores volatility daily across your tracked keyword set and the broader index.
How does the traffic impact analysis work?
Indexly compares organic traffic on each tracked page during the update window against a rolling pre-update baseline. You see deltas per page and per content category so you know whether editorial, commercial or product content moved most.
How quickly do you detect a new update?
Volatility spikes are detected within hours and Indexly raises an alert before Google officially confirms the update. Once confirmed, the update appears on the timeline with its name and rollout window.
Does Indexly help with recovery after an update?
Yes. Recovery tracking shows ranking and traffic trajectories per page after an update completes, so you can correlate fixes to measurable rebound.
Can I get alerts when an update starts?
Yes. Email and Slack alerts fire when daily volatility crosses your threshold or when a confirmed Google update begins rolling out.
Does this cover updates beyond Google?
Volatility and ranking tracking extend to Bing, Yandex and Naver in the same dashboard. Google Core Updates are the primary focus because they have the largest commercial impact.
