I know I’ve already checked, the 19 th I’ve got 350 impressions, and the 20th just 3 , it’s terrible. I don’t know what to do? Do you think I’ll get better after a few weeks?

It's probably the new google updates. I suggest waiting it out a little bit,
 
It's due to the Google algorithm update. Make sure all the articles are unique high quality and relevant to your topic. You can check your top competitors to see what kind of articles and keywords they are ranking for. Work around those topics to improve the performance.
 
Don’t panic. here are some possible causes for the drop and ways to fix it:

  1. Recent Changes: Check if updates caused broken links, removed pages, or meta tag issues.
  2. Indexing Issues: Ensure your pages are still indexed via Google Search Console.
  3. Algorithm Updates: Look for recent Google updates that may affect rankings.
  4. Technical Issues: Check for downtime, slow load times, or mobile usability problems.
  5. Content Changes: Ensure edits haven’t hurt relevance or keyword optimization.
Next Steps: Review Search Console, check Analytics, and test your site’s health (e.g., GTmetrix). Consider rolling back recent changes. Let me know if you need help!

Ok well , where can I check vital signs of a website? Or other possible technical issues.
Also I’ve seen that since it happened between 19 and 20 December it might be a Core update. In that case how do I fix it?
 
Your site’s drop could be due to an algorithm update, technical issues, or over-optimization. Check Google Search Console for errors, ensure quality content, and review backlinks or competitor changes. It may take time for Google to restore visibility.
 
How do you guys keep afloat, this was my first site, did it renew it self? Or stays like that the same forever? Do I need to get backlinks and things like that to do it again?

Hi there,


A sudden drop in impressions can definitely be alarming. You're not alone—many site owners have experienced similar issues recently, especially around the time of Google’s algorithm updates.


Here are a few common reasons this might happen and what you can do:


1. Google Algorithm Update
If the drop happened around December 19–21, it’s likely related to a core or anti-spam update. These can significantly affect rankings, especially if Google considers your content thin, duplicated, or over-optimized.


2. Indexing or Technical Issues
Check your Google Search Console for crawl errors, deindexed pages, or warnings. Also, make sure your sitemap is valid and your robots.txt isn't blocking important pages.


3. Site Performance and Mobile Usability
Slow load times, downtime, or mobile usability issues can hurt rankings. Use tools like PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix to run diagnostics.


4. Content or Structural Changes
If you made recent changes to your content, site structure, or URLs, they might be affecting relevance or accessibility. Roll back anything that wasn’t necessary.


5. Backlink Profile or Competitor Movement
A drop in quality backlinks or aggressive optimization by competitors can cause ranking shifts. Keep an eye on backlink tools and try to strengthen your off-site signals.


What to Do Now


  • Stay calm and monitor the situation for 1–2 weeks
  • Improve your content’s depth, usefulness, and uniqueness
  • Check technical health and fix any major issues
  • Avoid quick fixes like changing domains or spamming links

In many cases, sites recover partially or fully once the update stabilizes—especially if your content meets user intent better than competitors'.
 
Zero impressions often mean a block (robots.txt, noindex), a wrong canonical, or a big algo shift testing other pages. Check Search Console coverage + last crawl first.
