I'm seeing a consistent pattern with my recent launches. For the second project in a row, Google has granted a massive spike in impressions right out of the gate, only to cut traffic by ten times just a few days later. 😅
It is a classic "honeymoon phase." Google tests your new content, gathers data, and then pulls back to evaluate.
The lesson? SEO requires patience. Don't get addicted to that initial spike. It is rarely permanent. Real growth happens in the months that follow.
