Unexpected Setback: LegaMart's Website Traffic Plummets
In our journey of sharing successes and milestones, it's equally important to address the challenges we face. Today, I bring to light a significant challenge that struck LegaMart in April-May 2023.
The Issue: A Drastic Drop in Visitors
On May 14, 2023, LegaMart faced an unforeseen obstacle: an 84% decrease in website traffic. This sudden decline was linked to a major technical hiccup that led to the de-indexing of nearly 90% of our web pages from Google searches. As a result, these pages vanished from Google search results, causing a significant interruption to our SEO strategy.
Identifying and Addressing the Problem
Our team and I jumped into detective mode to figure out why our website suddenly disappeared on Google. At first, we thought it might be because Google changed its mind about how to rank sites or maybe we got on Google's bad side somehow.

We looked into everything – like detectives piecing together clues, wondering if our SEO moves were off or if there was some big mistake we missed. Turns out, the answer was way simpler than any of us expected. The mystery was solved when we discovered someone on our team accidentally hit a switch in WordPress, telling search engines to ignore our site. Just like that, all our blog posts vanished from Google. It was a small mistake with big consequences, showing us just how important it is to keep an eye on the little things.
