A focused, diagnostic-first plan for ’s Sacramento taxi site — avoid broad “add more content / get backlinks” statements and follow these concrete steps instead.

First steps (triage): check Google Search Console for any Manual Actions or messages, compare Google Analytics to identify the exact drop date and which landing pages/queries lost traffic, and confirm basic crawlability (robots.txt, sitemap, server responses). These items distinguish a human-applied penalty from an algorithmic shift or a technical problem; the Manual Actions report is the definitive place to look. ()

Backlink triage (if the drop looks link-related): if the timing and symptoms line up with the October 2013 Penguin rollout, treat backlinks as a prime suspect. Export the Links report from Search Console, cross-check with a third‑party backlink tool, group suspicious domains (sitewide links, many exact‑match anchors, low-quality directories), ask webmasters for removals, and only use a disavow file after documented removal attempts. Prepare the disavow file precisely (one URL/domain per line) and keep careful logs. (searchengineland.com)

Content & technical fixes: algorithm changes around that time increased emphasis on page-level relevance and user intent. Consolidate thin or duplicate pages into authoritative local service pages, add appropriate LocalBusiness/FAQ structured data, fix mobile/usability and Core Web Vitals issues, and use URL Inspection + sitemap resubmission to request recrawls after fixes. These steps help both semantic-relevance and user metrics. (searchengineland.com)

Local-specific actions for a taxi company: claim and verify the Google Business Profile, keep NAP consistent across citations, publish clear service‑area pages (airport transfers, neighborhoods served), embed maps, and solicit real reviews. Track recoveries in Search Console and Analytics; expect recovery to take weeks–months, not days. Several forum replies (for example , , , ) touched on pieces of this — the priority is diagnose → document → clean → improve → monitor. ()

i suggest you add more content to your website. and post more regularly. google is always updating its algorithm to better indentify good websites and low quality websites. also try getting more links from other related websites or government departments

As Google keeps updating its algorithm, you also need to update your website consistently, with quality content and try to getting more back-links for your websites through submission on good PR sites.

As per updates of Google’s algorithms, quality content and quality back links are important for ranking. Social media is new technique for pulling the traffic to the site. To maintain your ranking, work on these factors.

post some of the unique content about your products

I think because you didn't followed Google's guidelines.

Member Avatar for james684

Similar thing was happened to many of the sites which linking to low quality websites. You can disavow the low quality backlinks can recover from recent penguin update.

Member Avatar for Kelly Burby

Well, as you are saying that you have lost most of the traffic and this is because of the Google update that is Humming bird which concentrates more on the content, so you have lost most of the ranking. Change the content of your website and as far as i've been looking round your website and found some of the low quality links are pointing to your website. You also need to consider that ..... there are several small things impacting the rankings of your site... !!
