    Hello,
    So something weird is going on, i run a few websites for clients, few different CMS. there has been a constant increase in traffic and ranking on one wordpress website and now the squarespace website is climbing up in rankings in the past few months. both has GTM installed for months, which has been optimized regularly.
    for the wordpress website, in the past 2 weeks, starting June 4th, on google search console the clicks and impressions has started going down to the point that i lost 90% of clicks and impressions and traffic on analytics has started dropping a few days later, now at about 60% less traffic.

    for the Squarespace website, exactly the same thing, started June 7th and drop in clicks/impressions (though ranking increase) and then traffic drop. checked both GTM for recent changes incase of wrong code implement, no changes, no new major issues.
    different hostings different CMS, no link between them.   i just cant put my finger what is going on.

    anyone got any idea what is going on?

      If you've noticed a decline in impressions and clicks on your blogging website, several factors could be at play. First, consider the quality and relevance of your content. Ensure it aligns with current trends and audience interests. Second, optimize your website's SEO to improve its visibility in search results. Third, assess the user experience; a slow-loading site or complicated navigation can deter visitors. Additionally, analyze your marketing and promotion efforts; a lack of social media or email marketing may affect traffic. Lastly, engage with your audience through comments and feedback to build a loyal readership, which can boost impressions and clicks. https://bbtechworld.com/

        Hello Sharon,

        If you just recently change the URL for your whole website, you will experience some up and down in your ranking, but losing 90% from impression sounds like your ranking is dropping significantly from few of your main keywords.

        The first thing I would do is to make sure all the 301 redirects are being set up correctly.

        You want to make sure http+non-www, http+www, https+www are 301 redirected to https+non-www (your version.)

        Also, make sure to set that as your preferred options in Google search console.

        I found this answer might help you too: https://moz.com/community/q/checklist-for-moving-a-site-from-non-www-to-www

        Regards,
        Joseph Yap

          content is being added weekly, the only thing i can thing that might be causing this is the change in the URL, decided to go with a URL without www. so for example https://website.com

            It can be quite a few things when you say you haven't made major changes, has content been added as of recently? Or is it possible that it has been sitting idle? I don't how it's effected others, but me personally, if I allow a site to sit idle it eventually weakens, loses keyword ranking etc.

            If that's not the case, you'll need to perform a thorough investigation. Check out bounce rates, load times. Also don't forget to checkout web masters I had like 90 errors from a blotched attempt ad schema markup. It was easily fixed, but I'd of never known .

              Abnormally High Direct Traffic Volume

              google analytics reporting

              We have abnormally high amounts of direct traffic to our site. It's comprising over half of all web traffic while organic is second with considerably less. From there the volume decreases amongst other channels. I've never seen such a huge proportion of traffic being attributed the Direct. Does anyone know how to test this or see if there is an error in Google Analytics reporting?

              Why is Indeed.com traffic appearing as organic in Google Analytics?

              A large number of sessions in my client's Google Analytics account appear to come from medium: organic and source:Indeed. Since I'm focused on SEO for this project, I'd prefer that Indeed be treated as referral traffic. Any ideas for fixing this issue? Also, and I'm sure the answer is no, is there a way to fix the past data in Google Analytics that has already reported Indeed as an organic medium?

              Impression and click discrepancies in Search Console when filtering by date

              I recently filtered query information by week and day. The impression and click totals were different depending on whether I looked at totals by a full weeks or by day. So for example, the impression and click totals when I choose a date range of  monday-sunday are different when I look at impressions and clicks that same week by day and then add up the click and impression numbers to get a weekly total. At first i was expecting a slight difference since I know the data is heavily sampled but the totals were very different. Any explanations for this? Thanks

              Tracking 301 redirect traffic in Google Analytics

              if I 301 redirect www.mywebsite.com to go to www.yourwebsite.com, how can I track the traffic in Google Analytics that is coming from mywebsite.com??  I don't think that's a referral traffic, is it?

              Will 301 redirects (Same Domain) show as referral traffic in Analytics?

              For an eCommerce site we have 301'd legacy product pages to new product pages. Is all that traffic going to show up as referral traffic from our own domain in Google Analytics? If so, is there any way to preserve original source/medium info or will all the source/medium info be our own domain since there is a 301 redirect?

              Why did my site go from 1,000 Impressions to 0 impressions over the past couple days

              so we have been doing a lot of reconstruction our website the past couple days with our navigation and moving stuff around. Now bare with me because i am a noob to SEO and i am still learning. But we went from a steady 800-1000 impressions everyday to a 0 since the first. you can check out our site here: www.hidguy.net Not sure if its because we are moving stuff around or what. But we can notice that our conversion rate has dropped and we have had traffic but no conversions and no orders. Is what we are doing bad or is this normal?
