      Hi, Is it safe to assume as soon as Google indexes updates I've made to my site that any  ranking changes the updates effected will happen at that same time, or is there ever a lag time before these changes ( if any ) take effect?

        Hi Bob,

        I am not 100% sure if I understood well the question, but: if you make a change to a website and Big G indexes it, you should aspect changes in the rankings in the same time.

        I am working on some mini-site lately, and experienced rankings from even 2-3 days after launch. So You can aspect changes soon also.

        At least this is my experience.

        I hope it helped,

        Cheers!
