Penalized for keyword?

[laszlosf]

Hi There!

We have been building our website (https://systemfarmer.hu) for years, and had a great position for the keyword "office 365" in hungary. Now our site dropped in the middle of nowhere in natural search list. Is it possible that google penalized us?

Tried to find out the reason without any luck.

Thanks! Laszlo

Hey there,

Did you receive a manual penalty notice in your Google Search Console account? I took a look at your site and noticed a significant fluctuation in the total amount of keywords ranking that started around September 3rd.

I'd start by researching any algorithm updates and look at any recent development changes you may have made. According to SEO Round Table, there was a lot of fluctuation around August 29th - 30th.  So, it's possible you could of been impacted.

Best of luck!

While a penalty is possible, if you do not see any "Manual Actions" within your Google Search Console account, this is likely a ranking change due to a recent algorithm update. I would check into Google Search Console & Google Analytics to see if search impressions and organic traffic have actually dropped any, and then look into your links to see if you have lost any.
