The Problem

In January 2025, Quarule.com faced a serious setback. Their daily organic clicks had collapsed to just 10 per day, following a suspected Google penalty.

For a business relying heavily on organic search, this meant:

• Organic traffic declined 80%
• Lost keywords ranking
• Fewer leads and inquiries
  
• Reduced brand visibility
  
• Missed growth opportunities

Unfortunately, Quarule.com wasn’t alone. Research shows 40%+ of websites see traffic drops after major Google updates, especially when SEO best practices aren’t in place.

The Challenge

Our SEO audit uncovered the real issues:

• Thin, low-quality content on core landing pages
  
• Keyword stuffing from past SEO attempts
  
• Weak backlink profile with little authority
  
• Poor Core Web Vitals (slow load times, mobile issues)
  
• Duplicate metadata & poor internal linking
  

These weaknesses, combined with the December 2024 Google update, caused the site to lose visibility almost overnight.

The Results (Jan 2025 – July 2025)

In just six months, Quarule.com saw a complete turnaround:

• Daily clicks grew from 10 to 100+ per day (an 800% increase)
  
• Impressions jumped to 8000+ per day
  
• Total clicks reached 7,710, with over 788,000 impressions
  
• Average ranking improved from the mid-40s to 25.9
  
• CTR consistently improved, showing stronger engagement and relevance

Industry data shows moving from page 5 (positions 40–50) to page 2 (around position 25) can increase traffic by 300% or more. Optivibe Media helped Quarule.com achieve exactly that.

From Setback to Comeback:

For Quarule, it was a game-changing moment.

• Restored visibility in search results
  
• Steady flow of organic traffic returning
