After Google October Update: My best ranked blog post

[shimulb0]

My best ranked blog post was disappeared for all keywords but it was showing indexed in G.

From yesterday I see impressions on GSC, though rank dropped for many kws.

What i have done 3 days back:
updated the full content.
no changes for title, url, images

Do you think it will get same keyword ranks before the Google update it was?

if you've fixed what the update broke the rankings should be back. But the trick is figuring out what to fix

Wait some more time before making any further changes.

Same happened for me and today that article came back.

-Changed url structure example :
domain.com/blog/article-name
to
domain.com/blog-category/article-name but different name

then i changed title too just made simple

after 3 days came back. Now images are show on images tab too.

Do not forget to redirect 301 old url to new.

I didnt edit the content because its not about content pretty sure google have bug imo. That was best article in that serp.

In my country, some people say: Google currently prioritizes concise, to-the-point content. Just like how AI gives answers.

A lot of people edit their content shorter and they say the keywords are back. However, there are also many people who do not receive any positive signals.

Currently, I don't know what kind of content is useful. I have 3 new websites, the content is compiled and written manually, with quality. However, all 3 websites were refused approval by Adsense for the reason: Low Value Content. I have never encountered this problem before. Things only changed after the October update.

The same thing happened to me and I am also looking for answers

You need to wait for some time, minimum 2 weeks

 

[RSGroup]

Almost seems like me. I am waiting now

Out of curiosity, and without giving your niche away...

Is the title of the post in question, an exact match to target phrase/keyword?

It would be better to leave it as it is. Focus on creating more articles to link to that page

No, it seems dangerous to me. In 2022, when I got hit by the September "Useful Content Update", I did the same thing with my top article. In the end, after 3 weeks the ranking returned, but it seems that because I panicked and changed the article's URL, it was treated as new and never regained its previous positions (1-3).

I see one of my customers losing organic traffic to their sites. Is there anywhere that I can see and explain the situation? Or it just can happen anytime Google updates their algorithm?

 

[VisibleGuru]

It happened to me as well, and I'm looking for answers.

 

[She Hulk]

I would say ,you focus in generating additional articles to establish links to that particular page.

 

[iAuthority]

Its good to update the content, also wait for some time for google update to settle, you might get your SERP back.

This is not panic move for me tbh. Just trying and see whats going to happen. 1 Article can't destroy my business but that experience is priceless.

Hi, Bro.
After you updated the article content, did the page recover?
I have 2 articles that cannot be restored. I don’t know what to do?
