FAQ
Google uses many signals, but the big ones are relevance to the search, helpful high quality content, links and mentions from trusted sites, and good page experience, including mobile usability and speed. For local searches, proximity and reviews matter too. No single factor wins on its own.
Small daily movements are normal as Google tests results, competitors change pages and searches vary by location and device. Bigger drops can follow algorithm updates or technical problems. Watch trends over weeks rather than reacting to a single day. Keep calm and check the data.
Search Console shows your average position for the searches you appear in. For specific keywords, rank tracking tools check daily from a chosen location. Searching manually is unreliable because results are personalised by location and history. Our clients see live rankings in their dashboard.
