    Hey sorry to hear you’re dealing with that. This is pretty common though. One of Google’s algorithms is called rank brain. Now no one knows for sure how it works but it seems to be a kind of machine learning using something called a nav boost that was leaked in their API documentation.

    Long story short is Google tries you out see how well people like you and then rates you accordingly. That’s why you see that initial burst of impressions and then it trails off.

    What you need to is that more content that is useful and helpful, watch the traffic on your site and make sure it converts, and have other people out there vouching for you on the internet 🙂
