I updated my website with better content and I ended up with -60% less visitors

I have a side project website. It is a guitar website that explains guitar theory in a interactive fashion. I worked on a site update for a long time because I noticed some of my calculations for the notes weren't correctly displayed and had to rewrite everything because of that. It is now truthful to music theory, and beside that Ive added few more pages and improved the explanations on each page. I would say it is better and more complete in many ways.

Now I never did much regarding getting eyes on the site before, so most visitors came naturally. I also dont have a big amount of visitors, but I was happy with the current amount because it means I made something valuable.

Now after the update the amount of visitors dropped, a lot. Thats a bummer!

I checked search console, there are more pages indexed and I dont have dead links or something. Everything looks good except theres way less visitors.

Questions: - Does this happen a lot, or how is that possible? - Should I just wait and see if it improves naturally? - .. other suggestions?

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...
