Google is killing me slowly and I need to resort to Reddit

Since the Google algorithm update hit on June 7, the website I'm in charge of lost >30% of organic traffic overnight (most coming from our blog) and hasn't recovered.

Google said "core web vitals" (largest content paint, total blocking time and cumulative layout shift) were now a part of the ranking algorithm. The website was made with Avada, a very bloated Wordpress theme with terrible core web vitals. An "F" score on GTMetrix despite the caching and cloudflare CDN.

So I went to work and made a whole new website with Astra, keeping the same URLs and links and using re-directs on some of the blogs with irregular URLs. The website now has top core web vital marks and an "A" score on GTMetrix. Largest content paint went from ~9seconds to less than 1 sec.

New website went up Thursday night (June 24th) and organic traffic is STILL slowly, but steadily falling. from 1500-1600 weekly users in May to now 900-1000 weekly users. I'm also starting to feel the heat since my boss just cares about numbers and nothing else.

What to do to recover the lost organic volume?

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

are my YT keywords being ignored?

I have 3hr+ YT videos, so I chapter them out quite extensively. I've read in a couple places if I have too many keywords just grouped together they will all be ignored. Are my keywords being ignored...or are they even being crawled...through my chapters section? Also, is hashtagging in a chapter name good, bad, or not at all relevant? example chapters: Bookmarks: 0:00 Intro 4:25 Little Panda #littlepanda 13:04 Royale With Cheese Megaways #royalewithcheesemegaways 24:48 Big Bass Bonanza #bigbassbonanza 33:02 Book of Cats #bookofcats 44:11 Tractor Beam #tractorbeam submitted by /u/bauerwelson [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/3Gx8IPZ
