Catch Ranking Drops Before Traffic Does

Tell Carly to watch your top 20 pages and she'll post a Friday digest in #marketing of anything that dropped 3+ positions in Ahrefs this week — with a one-line likely culprit per page, before the traffic chart catches up.

What Carly does

1. 01 Pull the current rank for the top 20 pages from Ahrefs
2. 02 Compare against last week and flag anything that dropped 3+ positions
3. 03 Cross-check Semrush for the same query to confirm it is not noise
4. 04 Draft a one-line likely culprit per page (content change, intent shift, fresher SERP)
5. 05 Post the digest to #marketing with links straight back into Ahrefs

Friday digest. Ranking drops never get to be a surprise.

Every Friday at 3pm, the team sees what slipped this week and what to look at first — before the traffic chart catches up.

Email this to Carly to kick it off.

Hey Carly,

Can you run an SEO regression digest for me every Friday at 3pm ET?

For our top 20 pages: pull the current rank from Ahrefs, compare against last week, and flag anything that dropped 3+ positions. Cross-check Semrush on the same query to make sure it's not noise.

Then drop a one-line likely culprit per page — content change, intent shift, fresher SERP — and post the whole digest to #marketing with deep links back into Ahrefs.

If nothing dropped, post "all green this week" so we know the check ran.

Thanks!
