Hey Barry - Thanks for the weekly scoop! Do you know if the Apple showcase postings will allow you to overlap postings now, or can you only post one at a time still?

[@BarrySchwartz]

I am not sure, try it?

[@TraceyPoland]

@@BarrySchwartz I don't have a current client to test it on but talking to a new potential in an hour. 😃

My website’s ranking suddenly dropped starting on August 15. I haven’t made any significant changes recently, so I’m trying to figure out what might have caused this. Has anyone else experienced a similar drop? 50% traffic drop

[@BarrySchwartz]

I hope it is the ranking bug, not the core update.

[@farazchaudhary8718]

@@BarrySchwartzIt’s due to core update 🥲 what to do now please help me

[@daliatysescobar7015]

I had the same issue on August 15. Has your traffic come back?

[@SamuelLavoie]

[@BarrySchwartz]

Yea, a bit more crispy. :)
