      We have recently moved from http to https - could this be a problem? https://www.thepresentfinder.co.uk

      As far as I'm aware we are doing everything by SEO best practice and have no manual penalties, all content is unique and we are not doing any link farming etc...

        Hello,
        Last week I also made this migration, and analyzing the google webmaster tools visit decreased but to add httpS account GWT saw that they were counting to visit him, I read in some forums and saw that this drop is normal, that the possibility increase is high.
        I'm waiting to see what happens.

          The move to HTTPS shouldn't be a problem on its own, and should actually give you a bit of a boost. When did you perform the migration? Have you submitted your updated sitemap to Google? Do you know whether your site has been re-crawled?

            Yes, the move to HTTPS takes a while sometimes to fully swap over to your new versions. In the meantime, you may see some dips in ranking even though Google swears this doesn't happen. We have verified several times that it does.

            In the meantime, check your website in Google using site: and you'll see that there's a mix of https and non-https.

            https://www.google.com.au/search?q=site:www.thepresentfinder.co.uk/&gws_rd=ssl

            Fetch your site in Search Console, check your sitemap for https links and then resubmit sitemap in Search Console. Then it's just a waiting game on Google's end.
