HTTPS Update - 1 Category Dropped Out of Google

[BeckyKey]

Hi

We updated to HTTPs last week, we haven't had any major issues and most categories on the site are OK, apart from one.

We have completely dropped out of ranking in Google at all for our Dollies section: https://www.key.co.uk/en/key/dollies-load-movers-door-skates

We've always ranked well on the first page for a number of keywords, now we're out of the top 100 - I am trying to hunt for an issue but I can't seem to find one.

Can anyone advise?

Thanks

Becky,

It could be an anomaly that you will see regain rank quickly or there are other issues.

Make sure there is not a redirect chain causing issues or that web bots can access the page. There may be a simple explanation.

Thanks,

Don

Hi

Ive checked this and I can't see any issues, it just seems strange it would be this one area dropping completely out

That's weird. I'm having the exact same issue.

My accommodation section isn't ranking.

The root page of the section is (accommodation) but none of the content pages inside

e.g.

https://www.visitliverpool.com/accommodation/hotels-in-liverpool should be ranking for 'hotels in Liveprool'

So frustrating

Becky,

It does seem strange. How long has it been since you updated to https, and how long has the ranking been down? Over a week?

Hmm have you done any migration?

[BeckyKey]

We migrated on the 8th, and it was OK for a day or so, then completely gone.

I would give it a couple weeks and let google fully recrawl and rerank the pages. This is not uncommon to see rank drops after an https migration but they are usually short lived. How are you monitoring the ranking of these keywords?
