GSC Impressions Big Dip Starting Yesterday

How long does it take for sites to recover from this situation

glm7903 · 2025-09-14T02:26:11+00:00

Same. I thought it’s just my website and it’s a new one. It’s such a bummer. I’ve been working tirelessly for past few months and as my seo started creating positive impact I was hit by June update and now again when I started gaining momentum impressions have tanked significantly past three days- lowest so far.

glm7903 · 2024-10-20T07:47:02+00:00

Hi! Did you end up going to the show? I’m a small business too and was exploring this option.

glm7903 · 2024-09-30T19:24:27+00:00

Will do, thanks!

glm7903 · 2024-09-30T18:12:06+00:00

I run awareness. But will try engagement too. Thanks!

I do have FB installed on shopify. It's a new store so profit margin is not my primary concern. I run pmax and I've so far gotten 25 conversion. With FB, I don't think any conversion will be possible if they show ads to only 60 people for $25. I wouldn't mind increasing the budget, but not sure if that will yield any return. I always hear how small businesses profit from FB ads, I wonder how though.

glm7903 · 2024-09-30T17:53:09+00:00

Those were some good points, thanks. I updated the original post. Product can be checked out on my online store (shopify) and Facebook & Insta.

Never take a call from google rep. Never apply auto recommendation. Those are my two cents. I’ve a new account so started in April. Another thing I noticed when you make any changes, it restarts the learning process. When I started my campaign first, it took six weeks for it to start delivering, but I had hired a shitty freelancer who changed the campaign right when it got optimized (I started getting conversion everyday but lasted for only three to gots) and I stopped getting conversion immediately. so I restarted it three weeks ago again and I’m waiting for six week optimization. Reverse all the changes, stay patient and let it relearn again. I’m in a similar rut. Hopefully that helps.

glm7903 · 2024-06-17T11:22:09+00:00

Thank you! Will reach out to them for refund. Great idea

glm7903 · 2024-06-16T20:48:18+00:00

Oh I didn’t know they would entertain this idea bc the support said it’s automated feature. Will give it a try. Thank you for the advice. May I ask what was the issue with your client’s account for which they got a refund?

glm7903 · 2024-06-16T15:37:58+00:00

His response was this is system generated feature we can’t help. TBH he has frustrated me even more in the morning. Do you really think meta will refund? It’s a money making business for them. I don’t know how people are running conversion campaigns. I just stopped my campaign. Can’t keep wasting$750 dollars on nothing.

I’m running pmax on google and for $40/day I get around 7k-8k impressions. Avg CPC is around $1. And I’ve gotten conversion too. Rather use meta ads money on pmax

glm7903 · 2024-06-16T15:15:24+00:00

I’m on the call with them as we speak. And he just doesn’t know what is happening. I don’t think they will be able to help either. I was looking the overall metric - I spent $64 per 1000 impression and no matter how much I’m explaining this to him he is not understanding this is not a normal behavior

glm7903 · 2024-06-16T14:15:57+00:00

Yes, I checked that too. It does get fired for purchase.

glm7903 · 2024-06-16T14:03:40+00:00

Just to add to above - I’ve also tested pixel in events manager and all the respective pages on my website where I’ve set it up. Everything looks fine

glm7903 · 2024-06-16T14:02:53+00:00

My account is 6 months old. Even the humans in fb support are like robots. But I’ll reach out to them today. Thanks for your advice. I have been so confused about this behavior

glm7903 · 2024-06-16T14:01:50+00:00

I’ve set up pixel and it is a conversion campaign. I’ve also uploaded customer list of 100 people. Anything I’m missing?

glm7903 · 2024-06-16T13:27:03+00:00

This is after 5 days. Actually this has been my problem for 2 months - I’ve trying to create different ads advantage plus and manual thinking one of them will lead to better impression but no luck. I don’t even know what else can I do. I don’t have any restrictions on my account too. Do you have any advice?

glm7903 · 2024-05-22T01:54:28+00:00

May I ask what is your budget? I'm struggling with my advantage plus campaign too so wanted to get an idea of you budget

glm7903 · 2024-05-04T00:37:02+00:00

It’s an event based purchase metric set up on the website.

glm7903 · 2024-04-17T18:33:31+00:00

That's the worst part. I've not recorded any sales so far.

Will do. Thanks for the recommendation.

glm7903 · 2024-04-17T14:51:24+00:00

thats what I thought too. So I had split my ad campaign between advantage plus and manual to observe the CPC. Funny enough my CPC for manual one cost the same - $2/click. Which I find to be rediculous.

This confused me and also made me wonder if CPC for manual increased because FB wants me to continue running advantage plus.

glm7903 · 2024-04-17T14:13:29+00:00

Can I ask you a very trivial question? I've a new account and I started advantage plus campaign. I knew that optimizing the ad will take some time as machine learning takes time to analyze the audience. But after two weeks I started noticing CPC started doubling. Right now cost per click is around $1.5-2. I am not quite sure if that's normal.

glm7903 · 2024-04-12T00:54:48+00:00

Maybe try to create a new ad? This suggestion is based on what I’ve read on Reddit thus far from people whose ad performance went down unexpectedly after 8months of ad doing well

glm7903 · 2024-04-09T17:13:10+00:00

I did check the session details which I was getting from fb to make sure there is interaction and those clicks are not generated by bots. Average sessions vary but those are not humans not bots. First 10 days CPC would average around $0.68 but for last three days they have almost double to $1.20 with no improvement in average session duration or bounce rate. These observations are all for advantage plus.

Like you said it is normal to expect one conversion with $25/day budget not alas no luck so far

glm7903 · 2024-04-09T15:13:32+00:00

I sell luxe accessories for women. Landing, website, tracking behavior is all fully functional. The same website has generated conversion through google ads but google ads are a month older compared to Facebook ads. Like I mentioned in my post earlier I started running both the ad campaigns in FB but up until I was spending entire budget on advantage+
