Hey guys,

Recently fell into a slump and the organic traffic to my website has been considerably decreasing. Is there anything new that I should be particularly looking into in 2022?

Given 's report of a sustained organic decline, and building on 's timeline idea and 's content emphasis, the most efficient path is a short, prioritized audit that isolates scope, causes, and high-impact fixes.

Start by scoping the drop: confirm whether it is sitewide, section-specific, or limited to a few landing pages. Export page- and query-level performance from Google Search Console for equal time windows before and after the dip and rank affected pages by prior impressions and conversions. Those pages get highest priority for fixes.

Technical checklist (high impact, often overlooked): run a full site crawl to find redirect chains, canonical and indexation problems, hreflang errors, and duplicate content. Inspect server logs for crawl errors and bot activity. Measure Core Web Vitals and mobile rendering with PageSpeed/Lighthouse and fix LCP/CLS/FID issues, large image payloads, slow TTFB, and blocking third-party scripts. Confirm sitemaps, robots.txt, and noindex patterns were not accidentally changed during recent updates or deployments.

Content and authority fixes: identify thin or cannibalizing pages and consolidate or expand to match clear user intent. Add transparent author/credential pages and credible references to strengthen trust signals. Apply structured data (Article/Product/FAQ) where relevant to improve SERP understanding. Avoid publishing low-value auto-generated content; prefer original examples, case studies, and user experience that demonstrate real expertise.

Off-site and recovery management: audit referring domains for lost or toxic links and only disavow when a clear pattern exists. Prioritize fixes by business impact, implement changes on a controlled set of pages, and monitor impressions, clicks, and conversions over several weeks. Keep a change log for A/B-style comparisons. If Search Console shows manual actions or security warnings, address those immediately.

There are some Technique that always is best solutions
Use something like google analytics to track visitors to your site and blog. Being able to see where they come from and what keywords they searched for allows you to fine-tune your content.
The meta title, URL, and description are the three key ingredients for an optimized web page or blog post.
Blogging is the most effective way to increase your organic site traffic.

Hi Fay,

Google has been releasing more algorithm updates than normal the past couple of months. There was a big core update that went out in December.

There are websites (don’t have the URL handy right now because I’m typing this from my phone) where you can see all of Google’s announced algorithm updates. A best case scenario is if you can match up an algorithm update to a big dip in traffic on that date. Then you’ll have an idea of where to focus your efforts, based on what that algorithm was targeting.

Hi Fay, I'm at my computer now and I found the link I was thinking of yesterday. Check it out here: https://moz.com/google-algorithm-change

Try to match up a Google algorithm update with when you hit the decline, and then we can investigate a bit further together.
