Noticed a Sudden Drop in Google Views? You’re Not Alone, Knoxville.
Google Search Impressions Over Time Show Sharp Decrease Starting June 25th
If your Google Business Profile numbers dropped off a cliff after June 25, you’re not imagining things. Local businesses across Knoxville—and the country—are seeing steep declines in impressions and clicks on their GBP listings.
Before you panic or assume you’ve been de-ranked, here’s the good news:
👉 It looks like a glitch.
What Actually Happened?
Local SEO experts began raising red flags in late June after performance reports inside Google Business Profiles showed a dramatic drop in visibility—starting precisely around June 25.
Search impressions fell on both mobile and desktop.
The drop appears across multiple industries and regions.
Yet engagement and actions (like calls and clicks) remained steady.
This strongly suggests it’s not a real-world ranking issue—but rather a reporting bug.
A Google Product Expert has since confirmed:
“This is a known glitch. Google is working on restoring the data.”
What This Means for Knoxville Business Owners
Google is working on restoring the data, according to sources.
If you’re tracking your marketing or SEO performance weekly (as you should be), this kind of report can send your stomach into freefall.
But here’s what we recommend:
✅ Don’t panic—check your actual customer behavior
Are the phone calls, website visits, or direction requests still coming in? If so, your visibility likely hasn’t changed—just the reporting.
✅ Don’t make sudden changes
Don’t rush to overhaul your SEO strategy or spend money on ads to “fix” something that’s not broken.
✅ Keep showing up
Continue posting, requesting reviews, and updating your profile like normal. When the data returns, you’ll still be in good shape.
