Title: Hi HN,<p>I have a website for a piece of software I make, and Google search traffic accounts for a reasonably large portion of downloads. At the end of April, I moved the site to a new domain (using Google&#x27;s &quot;site move&quot; tool), and everything appeared to be fine – Google indexed the new site within a few days, and traffic remained the same. However, in the past few weeks, I&#x27;ve noticed a drop in traffic to the site, and when I looked at the Search Console, I realized that all traffic from Google suddenly disappeared in the middle of June: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;S1CCl2f.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;S1CCl2f.png</a><p>Google has all the pages in the site indexed - when I search for &quot;site:[my URL]&quot;, the pages show up as expected – but they seem to have been completely removed from any search results. If I search for the exact name of my app, where my site was previously the first result, the site appears nowhere in the 16 pages of results that are returned (I looked at all of them!). Similarly, if I copy a few sentences or an entire paragraph from the site and search for exact matches, Google will return irrelevant results or no results at all, and my site won&#x27;t be included anywhere in the results.<p>At least from the search console, everything appears fine - there are no errors reported, and the &quot;manual actions&quot; and &quot;security issues&quot; sections are empty. The site content has barely changed in the last few months, so I can&#x27;t see any reason for the change.<p>What can I do? There seems to be no way to contact an actual human, and since nothing on the site has changed, I can&#x27;t think of anything to revert. I could try going back to my old domain, but I&#x27;m worried that would confuse Google even more, and I&#x27;m not sure that&#x27;s even the source of the issue. Has anyone on HN ever faced this problem before?
