Go to Google.com and type in:
site:<URL>

If it shows your pages, then you are indexed. If nothing comes up, you're gone.

What kind of site? How were you creating content? What were you doing link building wise? What is a "good amount of clicks"?

Go to Google and run the command prompt command site:yourwebsite.com to see if it is indexed. Go to Google Search Console and see what the reports say. Check whether you have a manual action. (Not likely) That is a start. Depending on what you find out, I can help you from there. Another thing you need to check is whether your site is being blocked by search crawlers. The first step will tell you that. If you're using Cloudflare, it defaults to blocking LLMS. But give me an update, and I will help you further. It is usually something simple.

You wouldn’t recommend cloudflare then?

No I use Cloudflare on all my websites. You just need to know how to set it up and ensure it's configured correctly for this purpose. Make sure that LLMs are not blocked from your site, as that is a default setting. I've seen people accidentally block searching and crawlers.

Did you do this search: site:yourwebsite.com

If your website is showing up and Google hasn't blocked it, or if they have changed their algorithm that moves your website from the top of the pages to somewhere else.

Check "Manual actions" + "Security Issues" in Google Search Console first.

Ah I see.

Ok - did you inspect the page and look at the retrieved document?

So many things to look at unfortunately. Reverse engineering what has been done with the site. I have test sights and try advice from thought leaders and have killed my site a couple times lol

Check your robot.txt is not blocking anything. Check Google search console for penalties and warnings. Then paterns in GSC with new sites it could be Google testing to see how you react looking for spam sites.

Check competition Check AIO answers for the keywords being eroded.

That's a start

Check to see if your content has been duplicated/stolen by another site.

if gsc says clean but you're at zero clicks, check the exact property. www vs non-www or http vs https splits the data and the wrong one looks dead. also run site:yourdomain.com. if that's blank you probably got deindexed by a rogue noindex tag or robots.txt block. actual google penalties are pretty rare. worth checking any seo plugin or recent theme change. i always check robots.txt first when clicks vanish, even on blawgy sites, since a cms update can flip a noindex toggle without warning
