Hello,

Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

From your screenshot, you seem to be using both a domain property and a URL property. We would suggest sticking only to one property and we recommend the URL property as this works well with Rank Math.

Since you are using Google Site Kit, you can deactivate Rank Math’s Analytics module or disable the option “Install Analytics Code” in Rank Math > General Settings > Analytics to avoid possible conflict.

Lastly, for the decline in your search impressions and clicks, here are some reasons why your site might be experiencing that on Google.

1. Seasonal Fluctuations: Certain industries or topics experience natural fluctuations in search volume throughout the year. If your website or content is related to a specific seasonal trend or event, it’s possible that the decline in impressions is due to a decrease in search interest during this period.

2. Algorithm Updates: Google frequently updates its search algorithms, which can impact the visibility of websites in search results. If there have been recent algorithm changes, it’s possible that your website’s ranking has been affected, leading to a decline in impressions.

3. Technical Issues: It’s important to ensure that your website is properly indexed by search engines and that there are no technical issues preventing Google from crawling and indexing your pages. Check for any errors or warnings in Google Search Console that could be affecting your site’s visibility.

4. Competitor Activity: Increased competition from other websites or changes in their SEO strategies can impact your impressions. If competitors are optimizing their content better or generating more relevant backlinks, it could lead to a decline in your own impressions.

To identify the specific reason for the decline in impressions, it’s essential to analyze your website’s performance, conduct a thorough review of your SEO strategy, and monitor changes in search trends and competitors.
