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?

Domain Change -- Drop in Rank
So I had a client that recently decided to change their URL to make it more "searchable"/shorter. Since doing so, I have noticed a significant drop in rankings for a number of the keyword terms we were previously ranking for. Is there a way to push the links to the new URL or is the only solution to revert back to the old URL?

Lots of Pages Dropped Out of Google's Index?
Until yesterday, my website had about 1200 pages indexed in Google. I did lots of changes: removed low quality content, rewrote passable content to make it better, wrote high quality content, got lots of likes and shares on social networks, etc. Now this morning I see that out of 1252 pages submitted, only 691 are indexed. Is that a temporary situation related to the recent updates? Anyone seeing this? What should I interpret about this?

Sudden 50% drop in SERP rankings
Hi, Our website is well established and has been growing every month until around Jan. 6th 2013. All of sudden our search rankings on Google dropped dramatically (nearly 50%). We getting tens of thousands fewer visitors through search results than normal. At the same time as the drop (almost to the day) we changed our forum software from Vbulletin3 to Vbulletin4. The forums are on a different subdomain, and our forum developer said there is no way the change would affect the main site. Is that true? So far, we have not been able to figure out what caused the sudden change. Maybe a Google update?

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.

Homepage dropping back to page 30 and being replaced by a random page?
Hi All Please accept my apologies if i have posted this in the wrong place, i am new to this. I have asked for help over and over again on Google Webmaster Forum but everytime i am faced with sarcastic, unhelpful answers and then moaned at for asking the same question again when i get no answers. Well, my website is http://www.hillfieldscampingandleisure.co.uk. The site is nearly 2 years old and is an ecommerce online camping equipment store. It is hosted on the EKMPOWERSHOP Platform. After a about a year of adding products and designing my site i decided to hire an SEO Company based in the UK, they were a good company with some big clients. Anyways to cut a really long story short....they completely ripped me off by £700 a month for 7 months for my site to keep going backwards, they wouldnt target the keywords i wanted and all they did was provide really spammy, non relevant, no page rank links...my site ended up on number 31 of Google. I managed to drop the company and try to do things myself. I optimized my sites content so it wasn't keyword stuffed I re-wrote all my alt tags to look more natural I optimized my meta and h1 tags I carried on with trying to build relevant, high page rank links Anyways i managed to get my homepage to page 3/4 of Google. It stayed there for a few weeks but over the past few weeks my Homepage is dropping back to page 28-30 and being replaced with a random page of my site on page 4-6. It corrects itself after a while and my homepage returns but then it happens all over again....today i have a random page on page 4 and my homepage is on page 29. Any ideas on what is causing this and how can i get my site up there? I have had some ideas come back that it is the EKM platform i am using but since the seo company took the p out of me, its the only one i can afford at the moment until i start selling. I am a small business with stock waiting to be sold but no matter how much i read and rules to follow my site just doesn't seem to move. Any help would be really really apreciated and be nice!

Site drop in SERPS after domain down for three plus weeks
Have had a clients site that has been staple in the SERPS for the last four years that we have worked on it. However they had hosting issues a couple of months back which they didn't sort for two to three weeks. Since there the main keyword has bounced around between 24th and 44th in the google results. The drop ties in with the hosting issue but the client does seem to believe that this is the source of the issue. Can someone point me towards some online articles that would explain this for them. Some of the keywords have not suffered as badly but the one key term is still in the mid 20's. I am sure it is suffering a minus 20 for the keyword as it was normally 4th or 5th in the results. We don't host the site and the client had know idea were it was hosted. What is so annoying is that it is us who pointed out the site was down. Thanks in advance everyone 🙂

Website completely dropped off Google in our top keywords
Over the weekend, our website (http://www.esdandassociates.com) completely dropped off the google database in our top keywords. The only way that our site can be found is if you specifically type in the company name. Other search engines were unaffected and rankings remained the same or rose for the week. Previous keywords that we ranked in the first couple of positions (san antonio advertising agency, san antonio public relations) are now not in the top 50. We have not made any recent changes to our site besides basic content updates and all appears normal regarding crawler access. I have also not been able to find anything irregular in webmaster tools. Any ideas?
