\n A drop in organic Search traffic can happen for several reasons, and it may not be straightforward
\n to understand what exactly happened to your site. This guide explains how to use the
\n Search Console Performance report<\/a> and
\n Google Trends<\/a> to investigate the
\n reasons for a drop in Search traffic and how to address it.\n<\/p>\n

\n The following sections cover the main causes you should investigate
\n when analyzing a traffic drop. Also make sure to check the Search Console
\n Data Anomalies page<\/a>
\n to see if there is anything applicable to your site. The drop might be related to a change in the
\n data processing or a logging error.\n<\/p>\n

Algorithmic update<\/h3>\n

\n Google is always improving how it assesses content and updating its search ranking and serving
\n algorithms accordingly; core updates<\/a> and other smaller
\n updates may change how some pages perform in Google Search results. We post about notable
\n improvements to our systems on our list of ranking updates page<\/a>;
\n check it to see if there’s anything that’s applicable to your site.\n<\/p>\n

\n If you suspect a drop in traffic is due to an algorithmic update, it’s important to understand
\n that there might not be anything fundamentally wrong with your content. To determine whether you
\n need to make a change, review your top pages in Search Console and assess how they were ranking:\n<\/p>\n
