Urgent help needed. Organic Traffic dropping fast

Hi there.

I work for a tech company and our blog has recently been migrated to a new address.

On March 21st, which was the first day with proper tracking after migration, we had around 600 organic sessions, which was around our daily average up to then, in the old address. The next day, we had about 480, which is still acceptable. However, it dropped to 300-something, then 200-something for 2 or 3 days, and today it hasn't even hit 200.

This is very bad, and we have no idea what could be causing this massive drop with this pattern.

First of all, all 301 redirects have been properly carried out. They're all functional and our posts are already indexed by Google with the new addresses. All URL slugs were kept the same as the original versions and every article was pretty much kept the same, except for a few minor changes here and there.

The new blog's pagespeed is currently much better than the previous website (although it still isn't how it should be).

Google Search Console shows no errors, we haven't received any messages about Google penalties or anything, tracking seems to be working properly (after all, we had a reasonable number of sessions for the first few days) and the problem really is with search impressions, which GSC shows to have dropped.

We can't think of anything else that could be causing this and we don't know what to do.

If there had been a problem with the redirects or migration, we wouldn't have had good numbers for the first few days. Why is it continuously dropping over 6-7 days?

Also, today I noticed I hadn't included the sitemaps in the robots.txt file (I have now), but I don't think that was a problem, since I had submitted them to Webmaster Tools and everything was already properly indexed.

What could be happening here? Any suggestions? Really need your help.

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
