Alvie checks your Google Search Console properties for several issues that can affect organic search visibility and help you spot ranking drops, indexing problems, or loss of search features early.
The following rules are monitored across your Google Search Console accounts:
Best Practices

Performance
1. Average Position Shift
Site-wide average position has dropped by more than {{params['position_drop_threshold']}} points during the last {{params['lookback_days']}} days compared to the previous {{params['lookback_days']}} days (comparisons use complete data only; the latest 3 days are excluded due to Search Console API delay). This can reflect increased competition, algorithm updates, or loss of featured snippets. Review top queries and pages to identify what lost visibility.
2. CTR (Click-Through Rate) Collapse
CTR has dropped by more than {{params['ctr_drop_threshold']}}% during the last {{params['lookback_days']}} days compared to the previous {{params['lookback_days']}} days, often due to loss of AI Overviews, Rich Snippets (stars, images), or other SERP features (comparisons use complete data only; the latest 3 days are excluded due to Search Console API delay). Review which queries lost visibility and whether snippet or feature eligibility changed.
3. Total Clicks Drop
Clicks have dropped by more than {{params['clicks_drop_threshold']}}% during the last {{params['lookback_days']}} days compared to the previous {{params['lookback_days']}} days (comparisons use complete data only; the latest 3 days are excluded due to Search Console API delay). Check for indexing issues, seasonality, or content/technical changes that may have reduced visibility or relevance.
4. Total Impressions Drop
A drop in impressions of more than {{params['impressions_drop_threshold']}}% during the last {{params['lookback_days']}} days compared to the previous {{params['lookback_days']}} days may indicate de-indexing, thin content filtering, or broad ranking loss (comparisons use complete data only; the latest 3 days are excluded due to Search Console API delay). Review Search Console coverage, manual actions, and recent site or content changes.
