Reply To: Google tanked my clicks again this week

From my experience, from what I’ve seen, yeah, I’d be looking at the SERP layout before I’d blame the page itself. I’ve had a few spots where impressions stayed weirdly steady but clicks got wrecked just cause Google started crowding the page with junk above the organic result. Same rankings, totally different actual visibility. Super annoying, but not exactly new with them. If it’s only one site or one niche, I’d still check whether it’s a mobile thing first. Mobile CTR has been garbage for me on and off for months. Desktop can look “fine” and mobile is just getting buried. Also, if you tweaked meta descriptions and nothing moved, that doesn’t shock me at all. Half the time Google’s just rewriting it anyway. If you want, post a couple queries where it dropped. Sometimes the pattern is obvious once you look at the actual SERP instead of Search Console. Personally,
