There are three common reasons why plastic surgery websites drop in performance: once good rankings have been overpowered by competing sites which have moved in; referral activity has dropped though the website is being found regularly; or the website has dropped out of search engines due to changes in search engine algorithms.
If competing plastic surgery sites have come in and taken over previously good rankings, it’s possible that certain html coding aspects have been copied from your website. In this case, the website usually needs to be redesigned. If the website still has visitors coming to it but referrals have nonetheless dropped, this may signify a change in what those visitors are expecting. Competing sites may be providing more content or better information. In this case, the content may need to be revised or added to to better meet what potential patients are looking for. Changes in website performance due to changes in search engine algorithms are common. It’s a main reason why a site may go from top of the list of search results one month to non-existent the next.
