Strange: page no longer present in SERPS and I'm not sure why

[Jacksons_Fencing]

I indexed a new page last week and it ranked 1st

The page is still live, still registering sessions in analytics, registering activity in search console

Why is it no longer present for the keyword in ranked first for on Friday?

If you indexed a new page and it ranked first for a bit, you got lucky. It looks like Google caught up to it and gave your page a proper ranking.  Keep working on building links and optimizing your content to be as user friendly as possible and you may get back to that 1dt slot eventually.

JFSecurity,

It's likely a couple of things are going on.

(1) Fresh content earns a temporary ranking boost. It's not surprising that you might rank higher at first and then drop after a few days.

(2) Rankings change daily, for a whole bunch of reasons. You should do as MichaelAMG suggests and keep working at it.

Hi there,

To chime in, I also think it's worth mentioning that there are many important factors involved here, so us taking random guesses might or might not be as helpful as having a total list of the possibilities:
