New Title and Desciptions on page is visible does that mean index postion is also

[Robdob2013]

Hi,

I have a question,  Suppose I change some content on my web page,  i.e. Title, Description, some body text.  And then several days later I see this changes have been reflected within the contents displayed to me when I do a google search. I also notice that at the same time that these contents have been displayed to me that the position of my site has either dropped or increased by several positions.  Is it a reasonable assumption to attribute the position change to the changes I made on the webpage or is there usually a delay in position movement upon changes visibly being displayed?

Thanks,

If you make a change to a page and later the search result in google reflect that change and your position has changed, you can assume that the change affected your position.

However google continuously re-evaluates ranking.

I have a personal theory:

When you add content or make modifications to a page, I noticed in our case that google has a tendency to rank you a bit higher for a while, I think just to see if people click on the page.

If people react positively by clicking and staying on the page, then google might assume that the page is relevant enough to stay there or higher (and vice versa).
