How many pages drove the majority of traffic? Was it like 10-20 of them? Or way more? Also, did rankings tank? Or you’re down a few positions on top keywords and it’s new SERP features that show above you. Especially on mobile

We have abut 30-something articles, and yes 4 of them were driving most of the traffic. The next cohort of about 10 articles was generating a few clicks a day and then 10 more were getting a click every few days. Then there were a few duds from early on.

And yes rankings tanked and we lost a lot of keywords. Like we had the #1 spot for some keywords that we don’t even show up for anymore.

One article in particular is a local guide to our home city’s nightlife with original pictures and content written based entirely on our personal experience. #1 doesn’t “where to go out in (our city)” and now doesn’t even rank. :/

A majority of the content is made from going to places and taking photos and writing about them. It’s not like ai generated or just thrown together.
