Sudden, large drops (page 1 to page 6) usually have a specific cause. Building on points made by , , and , here’s a short, practical triage-and-recovery plan for that focuses on finding the root cause instead of just “doing more SEO.”

First steps: preserve evidence and scope the problem — export organic traffic and landing-page data for the last 60–90 days, take SERP screenshots from before/after the drop, and identify whether the loss is sitewide, section-level, or limited to a few URLs. Correlate the drop date with any site deployments, plugin updates, DNS or SSL changes, sitemap edits, or content removals.

Quick technical checks you can run now: confirm HTTP response codes and redirect chains, verify no accidental noindex or changed canonical tags, and check server logs for spikes in 4xx/5xx errors or crawl errors. A simple header check is useful:

curl -I https://yourdomain.com/affected-page

Also confirm pages are still indexed and render correctly on mobile and desktop.

Recovery priorities: fix technical problems first (server, redirects, indexing), then restore or consolidate any removed/duplicated content and correct title/meta issues. Review the backlink profile for sudden spikes or lost referring domains and treat disavow as a last resort after analysis. After fixes, resubmit sitemaps or request indexing and monitor performance weekly. Avoid mass, simultaneous changes; make controlled fixes and watch their impact over 2–8 weeks. If a manual action is found, prepare a documented cleanup and follow the appropriate remediation process before requesting reconsideration.

You should always be continuing your seo work.

I'm confused by your question. You're saying you lost ranking and want to know if you should work harder? The answer is yes. Always yes. Even if you are #1 it can always get better.

Yes, you should definitely work harder. It looks like your rankings went down suddenly, so better check if you get hit by some sort of Google algorithm. Better check the if you got any mail in your webmaster account warning you about bad links etc. as well.

SEO is not a one time event. It is a continuous process. You need to monitor, measure, and adjust for the ever changing conditions that may affect your site on the web.

Yes, you have to work harder to get back your ranking position in search engine. You have to keep continue all the activities you have done till now. SEO is an ongoing process.
