      Hello,

      I'm in the process of re-doing the following two domains:

      www.musillawfirm.com and www.melbourneduilawfirm.com  because something absolutely plummeted my rankings. Any specific thoughts on why the sited could have gone from top 10 to being virtually deleted?

      Thank you in advance.

          Wow! There are numerous things that can make this happen and what do you mean "re-doing" the domains? Sounds

          1. Did you make any serious changes to your website?
          2. Did you check Google Webmaster Tools for any penalties?
          3. Did you hire any one recently to do backlinking?

          Things I've noticed on your website:

          1. Don't put the phone number in a graphic. Users can't click to call and the search engines can see the number.
          2. Your website says you are in Viera FL 32955 and your Google Plus says Rockledge FL 32955. That's not good.
          3. I see you at this address as well. 970 North Cocoa Blvd. # 4 Cocoa, FL 32922  Did they move recently?

            Can you pinpoint the date when the rankings dropped?

            Have you been doing any active linkbuilding?

              Hello,

              Thanks for all of your input. Yes, I have done active link building maybe a year ago and the ranking dropped about a month or two ago on both sites.

              As far as the address:   the city is Viera, but for some reason whenever i put that into google places it keeps changing it to Rockledge (The two towns share a zip code). I really do not want to change all of my marketing to Rockledge.

                It's going to be hard to give an exact answer as the sites have now changed.  But, if your rankings dropped a month ago I'd be looking at Panda as a culprit.  There was a Panda update that officially happened May 20 but many people saw changes a few days before that.
