Hi everyone,

Over the past week, I've noticed that several websites that had ranked on Google's first page for years have suddenly disappeared, replaced by low-quality and irrelevant websites.

Has anyone else experienced this recently?

Yes Sir, the plumage is everywhere. Several platforms reporting the nose dive. Worst is no one seem to know what really is going on. Anyone with a solution should pls step forward.
 
Yes I have recently I’d look at Google Search Console for indexing problems and look at traffic and rankings to see
 
Experienced slow indexing and delayed updates in GSC in the last couple of days, which normally means google is running some updates.
 
SERP fluctuations that have been quite crazy have also been seen by me. First, I would go for comparing the stats in GSC for the last 7 days and 28 days, and see if it is a site-wide issue or keyword/page-specific. Sometimes, trackers exaggerate the problem.
 
Yes that just happen google seem to constantly update how they rank websites and this change also ranking on many sites...... You should see after a month the real ranking try to check by then ...

Of course, I wouldn’t suggest making changes to something that is only happening for a few days. Watch GSC for the next few weeks, but if your impressions and clicks continue to go down, I’d check it out.

at this stage, I would recommend that you should not undertake any action. fluctuations seem to be exaggerated in some cases in the rank tracking tool as opposed to reality in the GSC. Do you experience fluctuations in the sites or even specific pages? Is there any reduction in your impression nd clicks as well?
 
I’d take a look at the search console data for those pages and see if there are any indexing issues. Have you seen this happening across multiple niches or is it just one site?
 
I've noticed some volatility too, but I'd check Google Search Console for affected pages, indexing issues, and query-level changes first. Sometimes ranking fluctuations settle down without major changes.
 
I have noticed similar fluctuations too. I think we should monitor Search Console for a few weeks before making major changes. Better to understand the situation first.

I've noticed a similar situation over the past month. Every day, Google Search seems to show different data. At one point, I even thought Google bots had gone crazy!

The SERPs were showing some really unusual fluctuations day after day, but eventually, things started to settle down.

Honestly, I have no idea what Google is going to do next. Let's wait and see!
 
seeing the same wobble here lol, i check search console and indexing first before touching anything, most drops settle on their own tbh
 
Yes same here, in the last 5 days from position 2 to nowhere to be found and back to position 2 the next day and it been like that for the last 5 days. its really crazy
 
Yes, I've noticed similar fluctuations across a few projects. Some established pages have lost positions while newer or less relevant pages are appearing higher.

Are you seeing drops across multiple niches or mainly one particular industry?
 
Same here, and the pattern in this thread matches what I am seeing. The pages that lost the most ground are the ones that depended on a single informational query, while the pages with a clear purpose and some real depth held up better. One thing that helped me was splitting the drop in Search Console by query type before touching anything. Brand queries were fine, non brand informational ones were down, and that told me it was a visibility problem rather than a site wide quality problem. I would not rebuild pages just because of a few rough weeks. Check whether impressions fell with the clicks, look at which pages actually lost, and fix the weakest ones first. Has anyone here seen a page recover without changing it at all, just by waiting out the volatility?
