What Counts as an SEO Emergency?
- Sudden traffic drop (overnight or within a few days)
- Your website no longer shows up for important keywords
- Your pages are suddenly missing from Google search results
- You received a Google penalty or manual action notice
- You’ve made changes (like redesigning your website) and your rankings crashed
What Could Cause It?
1️⃣ Technical Errors
- Website pages accidentally set to “noindex”
- Broken links or site-wide errors
- Hosting issues making your site temporarily unavailable

2️⃣ Google Algorithm Updates
Sometimes Google changes how it ranks websites. If your traffic dropped around the time of a known update, that could be the reason.
3️⃣ Content Issues
- Important pages were deleted or changed
- Content no longer matches what Google expects
- Your competitors updated their content and moved ahead
4️⃣ Backlink Problems
- You lost high-value backlinks
- Google detected spammy link practices
What Should You Do?
