      Hello,

      We redirected our website about 3 months ago to https from http and noticed a drop in rankings after about 2 weeks. Unfortunately, our rankings have not yet recovered. Can anyone recommend a solutions?

      The website is https://www.web3.ca/

      Do we have to build a lot of new links to https if we currently have links that are pointing to http, for the most part?

      Also, could the switch effect anchor text links? For example, if we have a link to web design, but the links is pointing to http, instead of https, would that link have less value now?

      Thanks,

      Anton Vasiliv

        Hey Anton,

        Did you do 1 to 1 301 redirects for all pages on your site?

        What was an inner page that was ranking well before the switch?

        Another sidenote - in your Google analytics profile, make sure to change the http to https in both the property settings and the view settings.

        Thanks!

        John
