Community owners are having a bit of a freak out today and it's completely understandable. Discovery Ranking scores have been taking a huge hit.
There was a glitch but Andrew Kirby confirmed that it should be fixed now and if you haven't checked recently check again because it should be back to where it was this morning.
If you're wondering what affects your Discovery Rank, Sam said today in the Skool News... "๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐ ๐ด๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ด๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ, ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ธ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฒ"
He also said some communities may have noticed some hits that lowers their ranking... it ๐๐ฎ๐๐ป'๐ ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ affect communities that were doing the right things and getting legitimate engagement... ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฒ๐๐ป'๐ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ถ๐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ป'๐ ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ด๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐. Seriously when they change algorithms and make adjustments... crap happens even if it shouldn't.
Right now if you see your Discovery fluctuating, it means that other communities in your category are growing and engaging more than yours is.
Keep doing what's working for your community... keep growing, keep adding new members. Don't freak out and rebuild your about page, tear down your classroom, or some other crazy thing.
The ocean is full of waves... some calm and soothing, others huge and powerful enough to pull you completely off balance.
This is just one wave. ๐
