10 Reasons SEO Rankings Dropped What To Do About It

-
Rankings can fall for various reasons. Sometimes it’s due to a mistake that could have been prevented. It might have less to do with what you’re doing than what your competition is doing. In other cases a drop in rankings is the natural and temporary result of an intentional action on your part. Here are 10 reasons you might experience a drop in rankings and what you can do in each case.


1. You’re tracking the wrong rankings
2. The Google “dance”
3. New website
4. New website no longer
5. Low quality links
6. Losing good links
7. Bad hosting
8. Incorrect robots.txt file
9. Competitors
10. Google update

 As a SEO Analyst, one of the challenges I faced was encountering a "Crawled - Currently not indexed" status on Google for our old blog post - https://scgroup.global/blog/safety-tip-green-cleaning-cleaner-future/ (Continuity of case 2 ) that I worked on. After some analysis and troubleshooting, I was able to fix the issue and get the post indexed. First , I analyzed the content, meta tags, internal, and external links for the blog post. I used the "Copyscape" tool (https://www.copyscape.com/) to check for any plagiarism issues with the content. I then edited and updated the meta tags to make sure they were properly optimized for the post.  The title and meta description for the post were updated to : Title: Safety Tip: Green Cleaning for a Cleaner Future | Cleaning tips Meta Description: When you choose green cleaning products and practices, your family is safer and healthier.
