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?

No, we haven't had that problem. On the contrary, the indicators are gaining momentum. We highly recommend a new affordable way to attract traffic - through ad manager Twitter or Reddit accounts. The trick is that the ad manager account gives you free $200 and $400 respectively, which you can and should use for your own advertising. For this, we're offer accs2u store platform. You might try

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.

Unsolved Problems connecting to different Google Analytics property
I am having problems connecting to different Google Analytics property than the one I originally connected my campaign to. I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting to the correct property however 'traffic data' shown is not updating and is still showing data from the original property that i connected to? Can anyone help explain how i can get the data showing in 'traffic' section to update to the current Analytics property that is connected to the campaign? Many thanks.

Unsolved I have a "click rate juice" question would like to know.
Hello I have a "click rate juice" question would like to know. For example. I created a noindex site for a few days event purposes. Using a random domain like this: event.example.com. Expecting 5000+ clicks per day. Is it possible to gain some traffic juice from this event website domain "example.com" to my other main site "main.com" but without exposing its URL. Thought about using 301 redirecting "example.com" to "main.com". But it will reveal the example-b.com to the general public if someone visits the domain "example.com". Also thought about using a canonical URL, but it would not be working because the event site is noindex. or it would not matter at all 🤔 Wondering if there is a thing like this to gain some traffic juice for another domain? Thanks

Blog article cannibalizes our home page
Hello there, We're having a rather big SEO issue that I’m hoping someone here can help us with, perhaps having experienced the same thing or simply understanding what's going on. Since around June, our website's home page has lost the majority of its most important rankings. Not just dropping, but losing them entirely and all at once. We think it was self-inflicted: Almost at the same time, a blog article of ours (which we had recently updated) started ranking for almost all the same keywords. While our home page is a commercial page highlighting only our own product, the article that usurped the position is a comparison article, comparing our own solution to competitors. The reason we created that article is because we noticed a trend of Google increasingly favoring such comparison articles over dedicated product pages. But of course we didn’t plan to cannibalize our own home page with it. My question is whether anyone has experience with such a case? Is there a way to "tell"/influence Google to rank our home page again, instead of ranking that article? Thanks a lot, Pascal

Web traffic in steady decline since launching responsive design in July
The launch of the responsive design is the only event we can correlate to the beginning of the decline in overall visits to the website since July, however we're not sure if this is the issue. To give you some background, the website http://www.precisionpestcontrol.com.au/ is a pest control site in a highly competitive industry where there are many black hat tactics going on with huge keyword competition on a small range of keywords, however historically the website traffic for the above site has been gaining momentum. We create/ update 2 or 3 pages every month with rich content and post 8 blogs every month on pest control related topics. We have done the initial keyword research and all the keywords we used are medium to high volume terms. We don't do any black hat tactics or dodgy link building, we have invested time submitting the site to legitimate business listings in the past. It just seems strange that all of a sudden we go responsive and start to lose searchengine traffic. Possible Issues What we've been able to find so far were some pages that were not redirected properly, probably about 5, and 2 pages that seemed to lead to a 404 error. These have only just been fixed recently, otherwise the mobile site has been functioning effectively. Could this be the reason we have been in decline over the past few months? We also seem to have lost a whole lot of external links somehow, the external link measurement in MOZ has gone from 1500, up to 6,000 then down to 300 or so in the space of a few months. Basically we're trying to figure out what we're doing wrong, or what we can do to try and stop the decline of visits. We've checked the algorithm updates and don't think that Panda or the shift to the Google AI would have penalised us, but then again we could be wrong. Any advice anyone could offer would be hugely appreciated. Happy to provide any data for anyone to have a look at.

Tracking Organic Traffic and Conversions from multiple TLDs with Google Tag Manager
Hello Guys, I want to track traffic / conversions from different domains (basically same brand - but a lot of different TLD's). The "problem" is that the main conversion which I want to track always happens on the .com TLD and all other TLD's link to there. The problem is, that now the traffic always counts as Referral Traffic, even after setting up cross domain tracking over the google tag manager... So example: Sessions begins on example.co.uk/landing-page11 after User searched on it on google. He decides to buy the product and therefore moves to example.com for the checkout process. No I will have the conversion in my google analytics under referral with example.co.uk. --> but I want to have it under organic, and not under referral. How I can manage this? Thanks for you Help!

Impressions up 120%, but traffic not up that much. Why?
Since the penguin update near Oct 6th, both landing page & query impressions are up 120%, but google traffic is actually down 4.89%. CTR is down 45% but we didn't change any of the meta tags on our site. Any ideas why impressions would be up and traffic down? And / or how CTR could decrease without making any edits to the meta data for our pages?
