hey @Jonathan Boshoff and rest of community! I've been working on a website through the fall, mostly refreshing old content, producing a few net new SEO-optimized blogs, and cleaning up a lot of technical issues. I've seen great MoM growth and started hitting peak traffic in November. All was going great. Now since the December core updates, my keywords have dropped dramatically (down by half) and traffic is hitting low this Feb (not as dramatic as KW loss but it's down too). I'm not really sure what has happened here. Does anyone have any advice?

🧠 Want to push bad Google reviews down without deleting them? 📸 Ask past happy customers to add a photo to their old reviews. Why? Reviews with images stay at the top 90 days longer than those without. ➡ One-star reviews get buried. ➡ Old positive reviews resurface. ➡ Your brand looks better instantly. ✅ Action tip: Message old clients → ask them to upload a pic to their review. Simple but powerful.
