Big Google Shakes Things Up: What You Need to Know This June!

June 2025 is turning out to be a wild month for Google and SEO. Let’s break down the biggest news in super simple words.
🔄 1. Google’s Big Staff Change
Google is offering money to leave to some workers in its Search and Ads teams. Yep, you heard that right! Why? Because Google is pushing hard into AI technology. They want to spend more on robots and less on people . What does this mean for us? Google’s search engine might get even smarter with AI in the next few months.
“AI is our future,” says Google’s boss Sundar Pichai.
🛍️ 2. Special Prices for Members? Show Them Off!
Got a loyalty program? Google just made it easier to show your special member prices in search results! How? By adding new code support (called “structured data”). If you run a business, this is golden! People searching for your products might see:
- Discounted prices for members
- Points they can earn
- Club benefits
Do this now: Add this code to your website so Google can display your deals!
📱 3. Mobile Users Ignore AI?
Here’s a shocker: 90% of AI searches happen on desktop computers, not phones! Why? Because people use AI for deep research, like homework or work projects. They prefer big screens. But here’s the chance: if you make your mobile site super helpful, you could win big.
Tip: Fix your mobile site speed and content now!
🐞 4. Google Discover Acting Weird
Many site owners panicked because Google Discover traffic dropped to ZERO overnight. Relax, it’s just a reporting bug! Google knows about it and will fix it soon.
“Check again next week,” says Google’s John Mueller.
🌐 5. Google Translates Sites Without Asking?
Google is auto-translating websites for users in other countries. Good for users? Yes. Good for site owners? Maybe not, because visitors might not click through to the original site. If you have global customers, watch your traffic closely.
🤖 6. Reddit Rules AI Answers
A new study found that Google’s AI answers often use Reddit posts as sources. Why? People trust real-user stories. So, if Reddit talks about your product, Google’s AI might notice you too.
📉 7. Search Console Glitch
Since June 3, Google Search Console’s data stopped updating. Don’t stress! It’s a technical hiccup. Your real rankings are fine, Google just isn’t showing new numbers yet.
❌ 8. Blocking Translations? Google Says “No”
Google removed advice on using robots.txt
(a code file) to block auto-translated pages. Now, you can’t stop Google from translating your site. Time to focus on great content instead.
💡 Why This Matters to YOU
Google is changing FAST. To keep up:
- Use the new loyalty code for member prices.
- Make your mobile site AI-friendly.
- Don’t panic over bugs, they’ll fix them!
“SEO isn’t about tricks anymore,” says SEO expert Barry Schwartz. “It’s about being useful.”
That’s all for June! Keep your site helpful, and Google will notice. 👍
