What Tools Do I USe To Find Why My Site No Longer Ranks

[blogwoman1]

Hi, I made the mistake of hiring a freelancer to work on my website [in2town.co.uk](link url) but after having a good website things went from bad to worse. The freelancer was kicked off the platform due to lots of compliants from people and creating backdoors to websites and posting on them. It cost me money to have the back door to our site closed.

I then found lots of websites were stealing my content through the rss feed. Two of those sites have now been shut down by their hosting company.

With all these problems I found in Feb that the hundreds of keywords that I ranked for had vanished. And all the ones that were in the top ten for many years have also vanished.

When I create an article which includes https://www.in2town.co.uk/skegness-news/lincolnshire-premier-inn-staff-fear-for-their-jobs/ they cannot be found in Google. Normally before all these problems, my articles were found straight away.

If I put in the title name Lincolnshire Premier Inn Staff Fear For Their Jobs and then add In2town in front of it, then instead of the page coming up with the article, it instead shows the home page.

Can anyone please advise what tools i should be using to find out the problems and solve them, and can anyone offer advice please on what to do to solve this.

To address your site's SEO issues and find solutions, you can use tools similar to how photographers use adobe lightroom replacement to enhance their images. Just as Lightroom helps refine and optimize photos, SEO tools like Google Search Console, SEO crawlers, and backlink analyzers help refine and optimize your website's performance. They pinpoint technical issues, track rankings, and ensure content uniqueness. By leveraging these tools effectively, you can restore your site's SEO health, much like enhancing photos for better visibility and impact.

To find out why your site no longer ranks, use tools like Google Search Console to identify indexing issues and track performance. SEMrush or Ahrefs can analyze SEO factors, keywords, and backlinks. Google Analytics helps understand traffic patterns and user behavior changes. Additionally, check for any manual actions or penalties affecting your site.
