Frequently asked questions
Common questions we get asked about Google algorithm updates:
01
How do I tell which specific Google update caused my traffic drop?
The quickest way to tell is to match the date your traffic dropped with Google’s confirmed updates. After that, review Google Search Console data for pages and keywords most affected. By comparing this with the announced focus of each update, you’ll clearly identify which update impacted your site.
02
What metrics should I track right after an algorithm rollout to gauge impact quickly?
Right after an update, focus on daily organic traffic, clicks, impressions, and keyword positions in Search Console. Also, review analytics for shifts in conversions or user behavior. Tracking these will give you a clear picture of how the update impacted your site's performance.
