Frequently asked questions
How do I know if it's an algorithm update?
Cross-check LemRank's volatility index against public trackers (SEMrush Sensor, Mozcast) for the same day. Broad correlation confirms an update.
Should I revert my recent deploy?
Only if the site audit shows a new critical issue (mass noindex, crawl block, broken canonicals) introduced in the same window. Algorithm updates aren't reverted by rollback.
Will rankings come back?
From algorithm updates: partially, over 30-90 days as Google recalibrates. From technical regressions: fully, within days of the fix. From manual actions: only after remediation and reconsideration.
