Comparative pre/post-site-rebuild audit that identifies exactly which structural, content, and linking elements were lost during migration to pinpoint the cause of ranking drops.

Straight from Reddit

“I slid down to the high 20s, then back to around 10, and have been gradually slipping down in rankings since”

“I have a hunch that I might have accidentally dropped something valuable during the rebuild that Google liked, but I can't prove it”

“A competitor in my niche has been pumping out 40 to 50 AI-generated articles a day for the past 12 to 18 months.”

“Pages that had ranked in the top 3 suddenly dropped to page 2 or lower and with that, traffic dropped to almost zero - from 15.000 impressions and 250 clicks per day (trending upwards) to 2.300 impressions and 20 clicks”

“I feel like around the time of the rollout (and bleeding through the recent March and May Core Updates), those high rankings stopped”

“I went from about 220 clicks per day, to 80, and now down to fewer than 20.”

“I dropped from position 1, 2, or 3 to beyond position 15. These are low-competition queries where I used to rank easily in the top 3.”

“If there was a tool that connected to your Search Console and just told you "here is what to fix first, ranked by impact"-would you use it?”

“Exactly! That's the core problem I'm solving, no more guessing. You can connect GSC, get ranked action items based on your data”

“Google ranking signals and LLM citation behavior are not the same thing.”
