Leave a Comment / Owned Media /

If one platform update can drop your traffic (and revenue) by 30–80% overnight, you don’t have a “growth channel.” You have a fragile dependency. This isn’t about being dramatic. It’s about being realistic. Most small, brand-led businesses are building on systems they don’t control, can’t inspect, and can’t appeal. That’s true for Google. It’s true

Everyone’s “being consistent.” On paper, nothing is wrong, which is exactly why it takes so long to notice the problem.
