This could be for a number of different reasons, it could be because of an algorithm update.
It could be because of a penalty which might have been applied.
However, we seen this with a fencing company, and this often when really good quality backlinks get deleted, and then the algorithm adjusts where your business should ranked because some good links may have been deleted?

This could be for several different reasons, that your business has noticed a drop in SEO performance, it could be because of an Google algorithm update.
It could be because of a penalty which might have been applied? So do need to hire an SEO company to check this.
However, we incurred this with a fencing company, and this happened because good quality backlinks were deleted. Then, the algorithm adjusts where your business should be ranked because the links being deleted.

Impressions don't really mean much at all, as Google often experiments in terms of ranking sites for new keywords, then decides they are not relevant and takes the rankings away again. What we really need to see is 1yr+ of traffic (Google Analytics) and Clicks (Search Console). Even that may not be enough to define exactly what's going on
The site is mainly tagged with the FA language, which is Persian. AFAIK (as far as I know) most Persian people live in Iran, which used to be called Persia (and which is still named Persia by some people, though on the international stage the nation is referred to as Iran)
Right now there's a lot going on in the news between the USA (where Google is based) and Iran. It does make me wonder, does make me consider - could that be part of the issue? Obviously it would be impossible to gain clarification but...
One thing I know, is that Google is foremost an American company, and that right now the USA has "engaged in a campaign of maximum financial pressure on the Iranian regime and intends to enforce aggressively these sanctions that have come back into effect" - source
Who knows what's going on behind the scenes. Right now, Google is really clamping down on 'soft' medical practices within their SERPs which we know from all the YMYL / Medic updates. I know that Google only has limited presence in Iran (as you can see there, they won't even give Google-Iran a TLD, they use parameters in the URL structure to sort of generate a relevant page). This could in part be due to internet censorship in Iran. We know that even the app market, Google Play is extremely locked down in Iran
Without taking sides or making any judgements on the international level (something we wouldn't do) - it does seem that Google have difficulties operating in Iran, in the same way that they operate in the West. The USA is clearly sending signals to Iran right now on the international stage (which are also being returned) - as such, it's not hard to see that an Iranian site (especially one with potential Medic / YMYL issues) might fail to rank on an American search engine
Your site seems to use the "Netmihan Communication Company Ltd" ISP, which would confirm that the site is based in Iran (rather than just being built for an Iranian audience by those who may be external to Iran). I have the city down as Rasht
Taking no sides here, it's possible that your site has become a casualty of international conflict (at least on the communication and economic level) and additionally of YMYL / Medic updates, which may have stung you regardless of your location
Hope this is helpful to you, hope you will have a great day

Hi
You cannot tell from that set of data what the issue is.
Have you used site: to check how many pages of your site are being indexed? Does that number correlate with with the number of pages expected to be live on site?

How long after disallowing Googlebot from crawling a domain until those pages drop out of their index?
We recently had Google crawl a version of the site we that we had thought we had disallowed already. We have corrected the issue of them crawling the site, but pages from that version are still appearing in the search results (the version we want them to not index and serve up is our .us domain which should have been blocked to them). My question is this: How long should I expect that domain (the .us we don't want to appear) to stay in their index after disallowing their bot? Is this a matter of days, weeks, or months?

Sudden drop in website ranking
Since past 2 week my website www.micromaxtablet.in is experiencing sudden drops in the site ranking. I can understand this regression in the site ranking is not because of Goggle Panda update, and their is some other reason. Kindly let me know what could be the other possibilities, and plz also suggest how to get it fixed. Keyword for which the site had the best rankings (in top 3) was "micromax tablet". Now it shows on the second page in the google search and to make it worse, it's losing its position almost every second day.

Dropped to 45th spot. How to track ?
Hi.. We specialize in CMS Development and all of our keywords were spotted on 1st page always. Most of them were on #1 only. ON a weekly basis, we only post resourceful blog posts on our website . Since 2-3 months, I have seen quite some drop in traffic and today when I tried the rank status, I see the keywords have dropped to 4th or 5th page. Is there a way, I can track, what went wrong ? Where to start with ? The site always ranked good since 2 years of its start already.

Sudden Drop in Keyword Rankings
We launched http://www.manufacturedfun.com/ earlier this year and had been ranking 1 & 2 on Google SERPs for the keywords we optimized, but last week we experienced a sudden drop in rankings that pretty much took us off the radar. For instance, 'popcorn machines' went as far back as page 5 and 'popcorn poppers' dropped even further to page 9. We are currently working on fixing the numerous Duplicate Page Title and Duplicate Page Content errors identified by SEOmoz, but since we have had those for about 6 months and ranked well anyway, I wonder if there's something else that we are missing. Any insight you can offer will be sincerely appreciated. Thank you!

Unsure of sudden dramatic drop for target keyword(s)
Even after studying the latest Panda algorithm, which frowns upon templated looks (kind of odd), I have been doing some thorough research trying to find out why a site I have been optimizing plummeted. It was hovering around 10, and fell to 37 in one to two weeks. After I read all about the Panda update, I assumed it was that. But the site falls in line and shouldn't be affected. I used that 3rd party duplicate content checker and the content checked out okay. I looked on my SEO Pro campaign and noticed that the on-page report got an A grade, hitting on all factors except having the keyword in the URL. So, I have a site that loads in good time and should be fairly well optimized, and falls in line from what I can tell with Google's guidelines, which I read through. So why the drop? I'm not saying this site is 100% perfect couldn't be any better, optimized to the hilt. It was designed a few years ago, but still, I am just having a hard time finding out why this site got slammed the way it did. www.spineandsportschiro.com Target Keyword(s) Roseville Chiropractor Roseville Chiropractic I welcome any on-page critiques, but mostly would like to know where to look or have some kind of insight to why the rankings dropped, so I can try and fix them the right way. Thank you,
