My 15 or so clients have all seen a drop in organic traffic by about 20% on GA4 for April. Rankings have not dropped or anything like that - so just wondering if anyone else has had similar?

No, we haven't had that problem. On the contrary, the indicators are gaining momentum. We highly recommend a new affordable way to attract traffic - through ad manager Twitter or Reddit accounts. The trick is that the ad manager account gives you free $200 and $400 respectively, which you can and should use for your own advertising. For this, we're offer accs2u store platform. You might try

@Favazmubarak I have the same problem. Traffic to the ByTure site has been zero for the last three months. Initially, 1000-1500 visitors were coming daily. I have tried all kinds, but failed. If anyone has a solution, please let me know.

Hi everyone,
I need some help with an issue I've been experiencing with Google Analytics 4 (GA4). Since May 13th, my website's traffic has dropped by 60% according to GA4. However, there has been no change in the ranking of my pages, and there is no impact reflected in Google Search Console either.
Specifically, the traffic for two pages has dropped to zero. Has anyone encountered a similar issue, or can someone help me technically check these pages to identify what might be causing this problem?

If your businesses organic traffic is down, you should check if this was a sudden drop or not, if it was, check to see if your business possibly has an algorithmic or a manual penalty? If your website, has a penalty, do contact an Seo company for advice.

To address a drop in organic traffic across multiple clients without a corresponding decrease in rankings, consider conducting a thorough technical audit of their websites to identify any underlying issues affecting performance. Ensure that content quality is high and optimized for relevant keywords, and assess the backlink profile for quality and authority. Stay informed about recent algorithm updates and adjust SEO strategies accordingly. Focus on improving user experience, particularly in terms of site navigation and readability. Implement local SEO tactics if applicable and develop a content marketing strategy to attract organic traffic through valuable content. By addressing these areas, you can potentially mitigate the drop in organic traffic and improve overall website performance for your clients.

@Contentcoms Have you checked the Google Search Console reports? This is the only way to get an accurate picture of Organic traffic in my view as it eliminates tracking issues. GA4 and privacy/cookies/GDPR stuff mean less data is being processed in there all the time, so it's possible that traffic isn't actually down, but you're just seeing less reported. Check Search Console and see if the trend is the same or different - that will give you the answer.

me too and I don't know what's going on if anyone can manually audit my website https://lunaksa.com/
Thanks in advance -
This could be the "Google Helpful Content Update", so, it could it be, that after this update, that the blog posts are not getting as many organic visitors? We say this because, we own garden building company, had this problem, after the update, of the organic traffic decreased to some of the blog posts, effecting our sales.

It sounds like you're experiencing a widespread drop in organic traffic across multiple clients, despite stable rankings. This could indicate a broader trend rather than individual issues with each website. Here are some potential reasons why this might be happening:
Algorithm Updates: Search engine algorithms are constantly evolving, and even minor updates can have a significant impact on organic traffic. It's possible that a recent algorithm update affected the visibility of your clients' websites in search results.
Seasonal Variations: Changes in organic traffic can sometimes be attributed to seasonal fluctuations in search behavior. Depending on your clients' industries or target audiences, certain times of the year may see higher or lower search volumes.
Competitive Landscape: Increased competition in your clients' industries could be driving down organic traffic as other websites gain visibility in search results. Keep an eye on your clients' competitors to see if they are experiencing similar trends.
Technical Issues: Although you mentioned that rankings have not dropped, it's still worth checking for any technical issues that could be affecting organic traffic. This includes issues like website downtime, server errors, or crawlability issues that may not directly impact rankings but can still affect traffic.
Changes in User Behavior: Shifts in user behavior, such as changes in search queries or preferences, could also influence organic traffic patterns. Stay attuned to your clients' target audiences and how their search habits may be evolving over time.
Tracking or Reporting Issues: Ensure that your tracking setup in Google Analytics (GA4) is accurate and that there are no issues with data collection or reporting. Sometimes discrepancies in tracking settings or data sampling can lead to misleading insights.
External Factors: External factors such as industry trends, economic conditions, or global events may also impact organic traffic patterns. Consider whether any external factors could be influencing search behavior within your clients' industries.
If none of these explanations seem to apply, it might be worth reaching out to other professionals in your industry or community to see if they have experienced similar drops in organic traffic. Sharing insights and collaborating with others can often shed light on broader trends and help identify potential solutions.

Blog article cannibalizes our home page
Hello there, We're having a rather big SEO issue that I’m hoping someone here can help us with, perhaps having experienced the same thing or simply understanding what's going on. Since around June, our website's home page has lost the majority of its most important rankings. Not just dropping, but losing them entirely and all at once. We think it was self-inflicted: Almost at the same time, a blog article of ours (which we had recently updated) started ranking for almost all the same keywords. While our home page is a commercial page highlighting only our own product, the article that usurped the position is a comparison article, comparing our own solution to competitors. The reason we created that article is because we noticed a trend of Google increasingly favoring such comparison articles over dedicated product pages. But of course we didn’t plan to cannibalize our own home page with it. My question is whether anyone has experience with such a case? Is there a way to "tell"/influence Google to rank our home page again, instead of ranking that article? Thanks a lot, Pascal

What Exactly is traffic lift?
Under the keyword gap analysis under the competitive analysis report, there is a mention of traffic lift and it provides a number. Does the number represent the number of users or the number traffic to expect for that term? Or is it the positions?

More Traffic From Lower Rankings?
I have access to analytics for two different sites that rank for the same keyword. Strangely, the site that ranks on page 3 gets three times as much traffic as the site that ranks on page 1 (rankings according to multiple SEO tools as well as my own browser). How is this possible?

What is the difference between "Organic Traffic" and the "Non-Paid Search Traffic" default segment in Google Analytics?
These two filtering options ("organic traffic" in the left sidebar and "non-paid search traffic" in the advanced segments) give me slightly different numbers. Any idea why this would be the case?

GA: How can non related kws show up in the organic report?
Hi mozzers, I have a site A: www.example.com (with its own branded kws) SiteB: subdomain.example.com Site A and B are related and belong to the same company. Site B was released a couple months ago. ISSUE: I have noticed branded kws from Site A showing up on Site B's GA which doesn't make any sense. I try to make searches in the SE with those kws and not a single search showed the Site B(subdomain). What is weird is that 2 months ago had a an issue with bounce rate on site B showing a 0% bounce rate, then I discovered that we had 2 GATC on site, removed the extra code and bounce was back to normal. Since then I have seen a rise of branded kws from Site A to Site B. Can someone help me here figuring out what is wrong? Thanks

Track Individual Organic Orders In Google Analytics
I was wondering if there is a way to track information about the individual order in google analytics. Currently I can see all of the organic traffic, rev, transactions, etc, but I would like to be able to know what those individual order numbers are, as well as be able to place test orders to see if organic tracking is correctly working. Does anyone know of a good blog walkthrough for this, or have any suggestions? Thanks (again individual organic order data not all data from a specific search engine or keyword).
