          Much like what Irving has already mentioned, rankings do fluctuate and aren't static.  Without being provided any more detail on your end - have you made any changes to your website recently on the back end?  That way we can better help you.

          If it's rankings that have dropped one spot then that shouldn't be cause for alarm.

            Yes I did have significant drops. Under “photographers dallas” I dropped 29 spots on google. “green screen photographers dallas” dropped 6, and “sports photographers dallas” dropped 5. The only changes I’ve made on the backend were the suggestions made like reducing duplicate page names, not having meta keywords, trying to use the keywords in my text, etc. all of which I thought would improve my rankings but it had the opposite effect. Maybe I’m missing something.
