What we found
Your clicks and Google’s update dates
Solid line: clicks a day. Blue dashes: core updates. Amber dashes: spam updates.
Update by update
Method: the 14 days before an update against the 14 days that start two weeks after it, because a core update can take up to two weeks to roll out. A move that lines up with an update is a lead to investigate, not proof of cause. Update dates are from Google’s Search Status Dashboard.
