Hello,
I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with the web stories section of your website. Here are some steps to diagnose and potentially resolve the problem:
1. Check Google Search Console
- Inspect URL: Use the URL Inspection tool to check if there are any errors or issues with your web stories.
- Coverage Report: Look for any crawl errors or warnings in the Coverage report.
- Enhancements Report: Ensure there are no issues flagged under the Web Stories section in the Enhancements report.
2. Review Recent Changes
- Updates or Changes: Consider any recent updates or changes made to your website, plugins, or web story configurations that might have caused the issue.
- Plugin Conflicts: If you updated or installed new plugins, there might be a conflict. Try disabling plugins one by one to identify any that might be causing the issue.
3. Check for Manual Actions
- Manual Actions Report: In Google Search Console, check the Manual Actions section to ensure your site hasn’t been flagged for any violations.
4. Verify Web Stories Markup
- AMP Validation: Use the AMP Test tool to ensure your web stories are valid AMP pages. Invalid AMP pages can prevent your stories from appearing correctly in search results.
- Schema Markup: Ensure your web stories have the correct schema markup. You can use the Rich Results Test tool to validate your markup.
5. Server and Hosting Issues
- Server Logs: Check your server logs for any errors or anomalies that occurred around the time your web stories traffic dropped.
- Hosting Performance: Ensure your hosting provider isn’t experiencing issues that could affect the crawling and indexing of your web stories.
6. Crawl Settings
- Robots.txt: Make sure your robots.txt file isn’t blocking web story pages.
- Sitemap: Ensure your sitemap includes your web stories and that it is submitted to Google Search Console.
7. Content Quality and Policy Compliance
- Content Review: Ensure your web stories adhere to Google’s content policies and provide value to users. Poor quality or policy-violating content can lead to decreased visibility.
- User Experience: Improve the user experience of your web stories, making them more engaging and interactive.
8. Seek Professional Help
- If the issue persists, consider consulting with an SEO expert or a web developer who specializes in AMP and web stories to diagnose and resolve the issue.
