Just curious if there was a recent algorithm update. I have noticed two blogs come in an outrank two dominant websites on a pretty difficult keyword.
Has anyone else noticed any wonky updates?
Thanks

Hi, My site got hit in one of the earlier Google core updates (May 2020 as far as we analyzed or may be for some other reasons) and it still hasn't recovered the downfall. Do I need to wait for another core update to role out to see significant changes again?
We are a 4 years old site that had a good authority, but all of a sudden we lost the rich snippets place for many keywords. And, the strange part is fairly new competitors with just a handful of posts our now ranking in rich snippets. So, what are the possible reasons?
And, do we have to wait for another core update to fully recover and gain back our site traffic? Really worried! When can we see the traffic boost again? How long will it take to get back to normal?
Are there any specific strategies that we can follow to improve our situation. Thanks! And yes, is a new Google Update rolling out soon? Any idea on this.
Here is an example of my browsable category tree:
Appliances (all articles on appliances)
Appliances -> Kitchen (all articles kitchen appliances)
Appliances -> Kitchen -> Blenders (all articles on blenders)
Appliances-> Laundry (all articles on laundry appliances)
Appliances -> Laundry -> Dryers (all articles on dryers)
As users browse through the trees and see links to each of the corresponding articles, there is some obvious overlap. In the main Appliances category a user will see all the articles.
So how exactly do I set up canonical on this? Also, if I don't care about ranking for the individual category pages, do I even need to setup canonical?
I have seen many websites have put a self-referential canonical on site. Is it a good way to canonicalize? If yes, then please specify the reason.
Hey we recently launched our store and we only have a few competitors. Most of our competitors are on Etsy, with all of them having an Etsy branded store with their brand name as the url.
We purchased the domain name of the actual product and it’s branded with our brand.
Does domain name play a role in SEO? I know I’m at a disadvantage in most niches by being on Shopify, but I’m the only one with a dedicated url and shop.
I’ve done most of the basic checklists on neilpatel and some other sites and am hitting 70-72 on mobile and 90-93 on desktop for google page speed insights. So im hoping that in a few months I should start ranking well.
As the title states, I added SSL to my site about a week and a half ago and my rankings dipped a bit. The puzzling thing is GSC is showing search clicks to my http site but none to my https site. Both properties are in the console and I have 301 redirects. Where are these http clicks coming from when that site doesn't really exist anymore?
How do I fix my rankings and get the clicks on the https site?
