Organic traffic down
-
My 15 or so clients have all seen a drop in organic traffic by about 20% on GA4 for April. Rankings have not dropped or anything like that - so just wondering if anyone else has had similar?

Hi everyone,
I need some help with an issue I've been experiencing with Google Analytics 4 (GA4). Since May 13th, my website's traffic has dropped by 60% according to GA4. However, there has been no change in the ranking of my pages, and there is no impact reflected in Google Search Console either.
Specifically, the traffic for two pages has dropped to zero. Has anyone encountered a similar issue, or can someone help me technically check these pages to identify what might be causing this problem?

If your businesses organic traffic is down, you should check if this was a sudden drop or not, if it was, check to see if your business possibly has an algorithmic or a manual penalty? If your website, has a penalty, do contact an Seo company for advice.

To address a drop in organic traffic across multiple clients without a corresponding decrease in rankings, consider conducting a thorough technical audit of their websites to identify any underlying issues affecting performance. Ensure that content quality is high and optimized for relevant keywords, and assess the backlink profile for quality and authority. Stay informed about recent algorithm updates and adjust SEO strategies accordingly. Focus on improving user experience, particularly in terms of site navigation and readability. Implement local SEO tactics if applicable and develop a content marketing strategy to attract organic traffic through valuable content. By addressing these areas, you can potentially mitigate the drop in organic traffic and improve overall website performance for your clients.

@Contentcoms Have you checked the Google Search Console reports? This is the only way to get an accurate picture of Organic traffic in my view as it eliminates tracking issues. GA4 and privacy/cookies/GDPR stuff mean less data is being processed in there all the time, so it's possible that traffic isn't actually down, but you're just seeing less reported. Check Search Console and see if the trend is the same or different - that will give you the answer.

me too and I don't know what's going on if anyone can manually audit my website https://lunaksa.com/
Thanks in advance -
This could be the "Google Helpful Content Update", so, it could it be, that after this update, that the blog posts are not getting as many organic visitors? We say this because, we own garden building company, had this problem, after the update, of the organic traffic decreased to some of the blog posts, effecting our sales.

It sounds like you're experiencing a widespread drop in organic traffic across multiple clients, despite stable rankings. This could indicate a broader trend rather than individual issues with each website. Here are some potential reasons why this might be happening:
Algorithm Updates: Search engine algorithms are constantly evolving, and even minor updates can have a significant impact on organic traffic. It's possible that a recent algorithm update affected the visibility of your clients' websites in search results.
Seasonal Variations: Changes in organic traffic can sometimes be attributed to seasonal fluctuations in search behavior. Depending on your clients' industries or target audiences, certain times of the year may see higher or lower search volumes.
Competitive Landscape: Increased competition in your clients' industries could be driving down organic traffic as other websites gain visibility in search results. Keep an eye on your clients' competitors to see if they are experiencing similar trends.
Technical Issues: Although you mentioned that rankings have not dropped, it's still worth checking for any technical issues that could be affecting organic traffic. This includes issues like website downtime, server errors, or crawlability issues that may not directly impact rankings but can still affect traffic.
Changes in User Behavior: Shifts in user behavior, such as changes in search queries or preferences, could also influence organic traffic patterns. Stay attuned to your clients' target audiences and how their search habits may be evolving over time.
Tracking or Reporting Issues: Ensure that your tracking setup in Google Analytics (GA4) is accurate and that there are no issues with data collection or reporting. Sometimes discrepancies in tracking settings or data sampling can lead to misleading insights.
External Factors: External factors such as industry trends, economic conditions, or global events may also impact organic traffic patterns. Consider whether any external factors could be influencing search behavior within your clients' industries.
If none of these explanations seem to apply, it might be worth reaching out to other professionals in your industry or community to see if they have experienced similar drops in organic traffic. Sharing insights and collaborating with others can often shed light on broader trends and help identify potential solutions.

GA4 account & property not showing in traffic property setup list.
Hi there, I've connected multiple client accounts to GA4 already, but three of our accounts that we have administrator rights to in GA4 are not showing up in our selectable accounts/properties list when logged in via Moz to add to the traffic settings area. Anyone else have this issue and find a fix?

GA traffic locations must be wrong? Most hits from a state we don't do business in!
I launched a website earlier this year. Very limited traffic, 200-300 a month. It is an info site for a specialized business. However, when I review my GA traffic reports, 20% of our traffic comes from one city in Virginia. (although the company does business in many states, it does not in Virginia) or anything close. The bounce rate is 97%! Could it be a web scraper or some kind of redirect?

What is the difference between "Organic Traffic" and the "Non-Paid Search Traffic" default segment in Google Analytics?
These two filtering options ("organic traffic" in the left sidebar and "non-paid search traffic" in the advanced segments) give me slightly different numbers. Any idea why this would be the case?

We lost great amount of Google Traffic. Need Expert Advice, Please!
We are in the business of selling home and commercial light fixtures for about 10 years now. Our website is a very large ecommerce website with more than 40K pages including category, sub-category and product pages. We have been getting decent organic traffic mostly from highly competitive keywords and also from product/solution specific long tail keywords. Recently when Google changed the EMD algo we have seen a dip in the traffic (say about 60%). I can't be so sure that this is because of EMD update, but it started happening only after this update. There has been a rank drop from 1st page to 2nd page, decrease in no. of keywords driving traffic, decrease in no. of pages driving traffic, all these things have an negative impact on our organic revenue. I know that our back link portfolio is bad and the reason behind this is the SEO companies that we previously worked with, Thanks to them for this sloppy work. Other than back links, Is there anything fundamentally wrong on our website. Here is the URL http://bit.ly/QVFHgr

Getting traffic for another site
Hi Everyone, Our website url/brand is very close to another website url/brand. We are non-competing entities. It appears as though this other company has begun a marketing program which has resulted in our traffic skyrocketing. However, it seems to have also resulted in our Pages/Visit and Visit Duration to decrease and our Bounce Rate to increase. Can anyone suggest how to deal with this type of scenario? Thanks,

How Can I Record .zip Traffic in Google Analytics
The company I am with shows traffic coming in to .zip files in Google Analytics. The traffic being recorded stopped a while back, but I know people are still downloading/visiting these .zip ULRs. I'm not sure how they were recording/tracking the .zip URLs (in Analytics) before, but I'd like to track them once again. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks
