Adding Location to Title Tags has dropped SEO Rankings
-
After adding the suburb of my business to each title tag on my website, I've noticed their rankings have dropped from page one to page four in a lot of cases. Should I wait it out and expect to see them improve in the future? Should I revert them back to their old title tags? I'm a little concerned!

Hi, I would wait it out a few weeks. There was one instance where we updated metadata and content on a page and the rankings visibly dropped a couple of days later. We thought it was because of this change, but decided to wait it out so we can be sure. A few weeks later, the rankings went up higher than where it was originally. Try resubmitting a sitemap in search console so Google can reindex your pages quicker.

Hi! Can you give an example? The URL of the page, the old title tag, the new title tag, and the term in which you see the ranking drop.
