Sudden Drop in Traffic and Rankings

[E_SEO]

Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out because I've encountered a serious issue with my website, PueblaCity.com. Up until recently, the site had a consistent traffic flow with 25-35 unique daily visits, and it ranked for 45-75 keywords, with at least 20 keywords in the top 10 positions. However, since March 14, 2024, my site has experienced a drastic drop in traffic, now reduced to just a few daily visits, and all the ranking keywords have disappeared.

Here are some specific observations:

• Traffic Decline: From 25-35 daily unique visitors to almost none.
• Keyword Rankings: All 45-75 keywords, including 20 in the top 10, are gone.
• Indexed Posts: Posts are indexed but not appearing in search results.
• Top-performing Content: Articles like "secret tunnels in Puebla," "geyser Cuexcomate," and "best neighborhoods in Puebla," which used to rank high, are no longer visible.
• Branded Searches: Even searches for "Puebla city Cuexcomate" or "pueblacity Cuexcomate" yield no results from my site.
• Site Visibility: Searching for "pueblacity" yields no results from my site.

Potential Issues and Questions:

1. Algorithm Updates: Was there a Google algorithm update around March 14, 2024, that could have impacted my site?
2. Penalties: Could my site have been penalized by Google for some reason? How can I check this?
3. Technical Issues: Are there any technical issues, such as problems with robots.txt, sitemap, or other indexing issues, that might be causing this?
4. Content and SEO: Has there been a change in the quality or SEO aspects of my content that could have led to this drop?
5. Competitor Actions: Is it possible that competitors have outperformed my content, leading to a drop in rankings?

Steps Taken So Far:

• Verified that all posts are still indexed.
• Checked for any manual penalties in Google Search Console.
• Reviewed recent changes on my site for any possible issues.

I would greatly appreciate any insights or recommendations on what might have gone wrong and how I can resolve this issue. If you have faced similar situations or have expertise in this area, your help would be invaluable.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Best regards,
