Hey guys, I have an education-related website. It is doing Very Well. You can see my journey here. After the Google Core Update, suddenly, all my keyword ranking dropped from snippet to position 5-6, and Keywords ranked in 5-10 position, which goes to the 2nd page... Can anyone tell me how to recover???

You can try these steps to recover from a core update:

-Use data to identify content that needs improvement.
-Improve the relevance of your pages.
-Boost your page's authority.
-Conduct competitor analysis.
-Revisit your technical SEO basics.
-Offset traffic loss with new content.

recovering site from core update may take time but consistency in improving the content quality, user experience of your site will help youu for better recovery.
 
Make sure that the keywords were added naturally in the content, titles, descriptions, and headings. You can check the competitor's rankings of those keywords, content, and topics of the keywords. Work around those and optimize your pages to improve the rankings.

You can perform a backlink audit and disavow the spam links if you find any. Also, build backlinks from legit websites with a diversified anchor profile. Don't overdo with the exact match anchors. Optimize your pages to load faster on mobile devices and to improve the user experience.
 
If you feel it is because of an Algorithm update please be patient for a few days to settle and re-check all your content for which keywords the rankings are dropped

As per the Keywords check your Article Titles and meta descriptions. Are there any lost links or links removed try to recover them

Otherwise, just be patient and watch the ups and downs
 
For those whose traffic dropped after the Google core update, I can advise the following:
- Audit your competitors' sites that are now in the TOP-5 to understand what Google's ranking prefers after the update (manually and also using services like SEranking, Semrush, Ahrefs, etc.)
- Correct the content taking into account the differences identified
- Stimulate promotion with the help of PBN and high-quality link building and imitation of user behavior (such as ctr.pro)
- Give time for the SERP update

Now, its all about content quality and authority in a particular niche. You need to be very careful with your contents

Just wait a couple of weeks and everything will return to normal. Many website owners were hit during the August update.
 
This is a very case by case basis. Without really having a look at your site metrics, content, UI/UX, speed, backlink profile, competitor and niche, it is quite hard to give an exact advice on how you can recover or why you were hit. Because sometimes, a ranking drop is niche-wide. Did your competitors also lose rankings? What kind of sites were the winners in this algo update? Analyzing this could give you clues.

Anyways, one important thing that I could advice you is to not touch your site right away. Let it sit for a few weeks before you start changing things. In the meantime, just continue posting new articles as if nothing happened. I know losing traffic is stressful but you have to be patient. Because it might just be a temporary fluctuation in your site or niche. I hope you get your rankings back again. Good luck bro.
 
You just need to wait and observe the changes happening before rushing and changing everything.

I've been trying to look into this update quite a bit, I've not really seen too much of a pattern and not been hit myself on any of the websites I run.

However - the one thing Google alluded too which was mentioned here was making sure the content isn't over optimised, de-SEO your titles and content on some of the pages and write more naturally to test whether that's going to have an effect, is where I would start

But always take stuff the Big G says with a pinch of salt & do your own tests, don't just make gung-ho wholesale changes, you're obviously still doing something right if it hasn't completely dumped you out of SERPs.
