Is this caused by EMD update or other reason?

Hi,

I have question, which im not sure this problem caused by latest EMD or something other. Its more likely by EMD update, and i think the same, but to be sure that i`m right i want to ask.

Example:

We have Client which previous month(and as i remember always was) was #1 by brand keyword on Google.co.uk with URL that ends with .co.uk. What we see today that now it`s ranked on #2, on first place now our  US site with the same URL but ending with .com. So they switched positions.

And the question is, can this situation caused by EMD update?

To clarify US site is more popular, has about 6 times more external links than UK, Domain,  page authority and all other SEO things are higher.

P.S Same situation i see only for 2 clients all other are as previous.

Thanks,

Sergey

You mean UK or Us site ? for US site there is plenty of them, UK site have almost nothing.

More likely that this is not EMD, but something is happened, and only for 2 clients all others in the same situation, ranking as usual. Anyway thanks for the answer, will be trying to find out why this happened and how to solve it.

Yes - one position change may not be enough to draw conclusions. But "To clarify US site is more popular, has about 6 times more external links than UK, Domain,  page authority and all other SEO things are higher." probably is relevant. Also, is there duplicate content (just a thought I had)?

I agree with David, the EMD update would of dramatically affected your site. Perhaps the site that is #1 has been doing some #RCS

I dont think a drop in one position is enough to say you got hit. It can be anything or nothing
