SEO drifts if you leave it alone. If your site hasn’t been re-optimized in months or years, visibility is already slipping. Search systems change quickly, and strategies that worked last year age out fast.

Technical debt drags rankings
Even strong content can lose ground if the foundation is shaky. Site speed, crawlability, and mobile performance are now baseline requirements. Add in broken links, outdated pages, or clumsy navigation, and search engines start to pull back visibility. Most traffic originates on mobile, so every extra second of friction costs you.
Engagement signals decide who stays visible
Getting a click isn’t enough. Google tracks whether visitors stay, explore, or leave frustrated. If the page loads slowly, buries answers, or feels hard to use, rankings erode over time. Sites that are fast, intuitive, and built around clear intent keep the attention (and the visibility) that competitors lose.
SEO is never “set it and forget it”
Treating SEO like a project that ends at launch guarantees erosion. Algorithms shift. Competitors publish. Product pages change. Without continuous monitoring, technical upkeep, and content updates, performance declines and the fixes get more expensive.
