Anyone Experience Movement From The 2026 March Update?

The March 2026 update seems to have affected more non-local sites, but a few of mine have seen a drop.

Has anyone else experience a change, either positive or negative?

"Still monitoring a few legal and healthcare niches here. We saw a bit of a rollercoaster during the first 72 hours, but things seem to be settling back to baseline now. In my experience, these March updates tend to have a 'rebound' period about two weeks in. Have you checked your Search Console for any specific 'Unhelpful Content' notifications, or does it look like a standard algorithmic shift?" Steven Dietz

Good insight on the "rebound" period for March updates. Fortunately no manual actions in GSC. The drops on my end have leveled off, but seems industry-wide the consensus is that conveying experience and expertise got more heavily weighted, along with 'information gain' in content.
