Top Declining Keywords
This table shows which keywords have lost ground in the rankings and by how many positions. You get a quick snapshot of recent drops, so you know where to focus your recovery efforts.
What It Shows
- Keyword
The specific query or term that’s lost rank.
- Domain
The website or domain where the keyword ranks.
- Engine
Which search engine the keyword is ranking on (Google, Bing, Yahoo).
- Search Group
A label grouping the keyword (e.g., a product line or campaign).
- Latest
The most recent ranking position for the keyword.
- Previous
The earlier ranking (often from the previous day).
- Move
How many positions the keyword has dropped. A higher (negative) number indicates a larger decline.
- URL

How It Works
1..Movement Column
- A number here indicates a drop (e.g., moving from position 10 to 15 displays “5” in red).
- The system ensures this number is shown as a negative impact, even though the numeric value is positive.
2..Check the Table
- Latest vs. Previous shows the positions before and after.
- Move tells you the difference, highlighting the decline.
Why It Matters

Catch declines early, so you can act before they lead to traffic losses.

If you notice consistent drops, it may signal broader issues (e.g., search engine updates, site speed problems).
