Reply To: Weird ranking drops again?

[hankroot]

Yeah, I’m seeing the same kind of nonsense on a couple client sites too. One page drops like a brick, another one wiggles back up, and nothing obvious changed on our end. Honestly the impression swings in GSC are the part that annoys me most — makes it hard to tell if it’s real movement or just Google being weird for a few days. I’m not touching anything yet either unless it keeps doing this into next week. If it’s still off after that, then I’d start checking the usual stuff like query shifts, cannibalization, and whether Google decided to reshuffle intent again for no good reason.
