    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

        @Favazmubarak I have the same problem. Traffic to the ByTure site has been zero for the last three months. Initially, 1000-1500 visitors were coming daily. I have tried all kinds, but failed. If anyone has a solution, please let me know.

              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.

                            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.

                              @Contentcoms said in 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?

                              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.

                                I hope someone can give me some insight here, or at least point me in the right direction. As of September 1 we are running Adwords. We are seeing an alarming drop in our organic traffic since then. It's almost like Adwords is cannibalizing organic. August/September Paid 116/847 Organic 648/178 We've looked at why the Organic could have dropped (penalties, site function issues, etc.) and have found nothing unusual. Can someone give me a reason why this might be happening, Why such a dramatic decrease just as adwords is started. Thanks!

                                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 is my direct traffic down DRASTICALLY?

                                I have been seeing a trend for a while that is intesifying. My direct traffic numbers are down A LOT. We are not down 50% to LY (in actual number not just percentage of traffic) I am trying to understand what could be the causes of this issue. I was considering simply bigger meaner competition, but I actually perform decently on my returning customers.  Also my performance on my brand keyword is more inline with my current trend so I would except these KW to do equally as bad if the actual brand/store was the issue. The more surprising even, is the fact that I can trace back the start of the trend exactly to the day. Overnight on Sept 22 LY direct traffic went down 30% (to LY) when it was trending UP 20-25%(to LY) before. Now, we did do a redesign of the website on May 2011 (4 months before the drop), and did change host Oct 2011 (a couple weeks after the start of the trend). Do you have any clue as to why this could be happening? Did GA start tracking direct traffic differently?
                                Any thoughts?

                                i would like to  exclude all traffic coming from India using  Advanced Segment in Google Analytics. How do i go about it ?  Will it be applied to future traffic also ?

                                Will having a subdomain cause referral traffic from the domain name?

                                Hi! One of our clients has a site with the store on a subdomain: store.example.com.  When we've set up goals for order confirmation pages, we often see most of the sources attributed to example.com.  Is this because of the subdomain issue? How would we correct it so that we would see as the referring source for the goal the site that sent to the root domain originally, and not the site that sent to the subdomain? Thanks!
