My posts have vanished from Serps What Should I do
-
I was using the Yoast plugin and for more than ten years and my keywords were always in the top twenty with many in the top five. I then moved over to rank math plugin and things were fine. Then i saw all my posts and pages go our of serps with not a single page in seps.
I looked at the plugin and saw that it was still working fine but my subscription ran out two months previous.
none of my brand news articles appear in serps. All my posts are indexed but not one of them in serps and not one of my keywords are ranked.
Can anyone please let me know what to do to solve this

I also think this i due to the latest Google update. Many websites have lost their traffic and many post have disappeared even if they are as you say indexed. I would start as mentioned above by checking Google search console, if there are no errors then i belive this is a sign of bad quality content and would recommend to go throw your articles to se if they really give the user what they searched for.

If your posts have vanished from SERPs, it can be due to various reasons such as algorithm updates, penalties, or technical issues on your website. Start by checking Google Search Console for any messages or warnings. Ensure your site complies with Google's guidelines, fix any potential issues like broken links or duplicate content, and consider updating and optimizing your content. You might also want to audit your backlinks and remove any low-quality ones.
For professional help, consider consulting with an experienced SEO company like *Softsolstechnologies**. They can provide a thorough analysis and implement strategies to help recover your rankings.

Hi there, so there have been some massive Google algorithm updates recently.
There was one in March, there was one called the *Google helpful content update*. So, these were huge massive Google updates.
Now it could be that during the ranking flux, after the update rolled out had rolled out, it substantially changed where your business ranks on Google.
Do contact an SEO company for advice, it might mean posts need improving, to make them rank higher, does this help you?

Unsolved Wild fluctuations in ranking, any thoughts on why or what to do about it?
We have a keyword which is important to us and used to have rock steady rankings for over a decade. Over the past 9 months or so it has been fluctuating all over the place.

keep short posts?
From an SEO standpoint, is it worth keeping a blog post that only has a few images and a few sentences? I think the post was meant to be a 'Recent Work' type of a post, but there's only a few images in it and a few short sentences. I'm thinking they're basically useless since I've created an image gallery elsewhere and I'm tempted to delete them.

Added a canonical ref tag and SERPs tanked, should we change it back?
My client's CMS uses an internal linking structure that includes index.php at the end of the URLs. The site also works using SEO-friendly URLs without index.php, so the SEO tool identified a duplicate content issue. Their marketing team thought the pages with index.php would have better link equity and rank higher, so they added a canonical ref tag, making the index.php version of the pages the canonical page. As a result, the site dropped in the rankings by a LOT and has not recovered in the last 3-months. It appears that Google had automatically selected the SEO-friendly URLs as the canonical page, and by switching, it re-indexed the entire site. The question we have is, should they change it back? Or will this cause the site to be reindexed again, resulting in an even lower ranking?

Google doesn't show my Twitter account
Hello, my full name is Timo Rossa and my Twitter (X) account is @TimoRossa. If I search for my name with "Timo Rossa" on Google, it doesn't find any results referencing my Twitter account. It is very important for me that Google does not only show Twitter results for my name but also that those results would be ranked at the top. The only reason I could come up with is that my account name has not separated words. Does this make sense? What would be a simple strategy to achieve my goal? Thank you!

How to Get a New Organic SERP Image Pack
I have been doing a little on-page SEO on our site today and came across the following images embedded within organic SERPs, please see the screenshot. Obviously the users eye is drawn to these and therefore they are likely to result in more clicks. It would be great to know what they are called and how to go about getting these for our own results? If we managed to implement these across our site it would make a big difference for us, as working in the travel space, images are so strong when painting a picture of the destination. Thanks
