Hi everyone,
I also tried going through many google channels and the response is the same sad response. From all we can gather, Google has made an algorithmic change around Mar 20 that effectively limited the visibility for many of us.
Logically this is not an issue related to a change we made right before, otherwise we would not all have been affected on the same date. This is related to something about our store. Can I kindly ask you to respond to this thread with this information
-
how many items are in your feed? 18,000+
-
what is your website authority score? 15 (Semrush)
-
when did you start using Merchant center? May 2022
-
have you experience a significant change in organic ranking in 2023? Yes, traffic dropped by half from Dec to Mar due to toxic backlinks, then recovered after disavowing these backlinks in March
-
what % of products in your merchant account were affected by errors before Mar 20? <1% on average, problem fixed at the end of each day
-
what % of products in your merchant account were affected by warnings before Mar 20? 10-25%
Please feel free to add more information that you think may be related to generic trust factor that google may be using as it may help us troubleshoot this! We need to find a common denominator among us to resolve this!
