Hi Calico,

You might need to provide some additional information on the website and business you're referring to and what country you are operating in, so people can take a deeper look.

Thanks,

Thanks David,

Interesting, you basically confirmed my immediate suspicion as we did indeed move to https not that long ago. I ended up asking this question because I tried to validate https version of the URL, got through the whole process and verified the listing and then it never appeared in my console view.

Any way, I tried a second time just now and its all looking good - must have been some gremlins in the system.

Appreciate the help.

Ben

Hello Moz Community,

A while back I noticed in Google Search Console that the volume of impressions and clicks dropped off a cliff. I also noticed that this was for primary head keywords that generally had a decent volume of impression share.

The natural initial reaction was 'oh, I must have lost those rankings' but upon checking I realized these rankings are still in existence. Admittedly most are page 2 or 3, but still within the confines of being captured in GSC.

Is there a logical reason why these keywords have just gone from search console?

An example keyword would be something like 'online football management game' and the website is https://www.worldelitesoccer.com

There is 0 queries in my search console data that includes the word 'football'.

Thanks,

Ben
