WHERE IT STARTED

Clicks that would not move

In June 2025, the first full month in the Search Console export, gmppros.com earned 127 clicks. July and August earned 132 and 126. Google changed how it counts impressions and position in mid-September 2025, so we lead with clicks and compare the other two only after that change.

The verified starting point

The search baseline

Clicks, June 2025: 127
Clicks, August 2025: 126
Clicks, first six full months: 1,011
Impressions, Oct 2025, first full month after the change: 34,670
Avg position, Oct 2025: 15.3

ProblemFlat for the whole summer.127 clicks in June 2025, 132 in July, 126 in August. Three months with no movement at all.
ProblemNot a one-off low.Search Console data via Ahrefs for January to March 2025 shows the same level: between 98 and 130 clicks a month.
ProblemThe yardstick moved mid-record.In mid-September 2025 Google stopped serving 100 results per page. In the week of 1 September, gmppros.com had 12,124 impressions at position 43.3. In the week of 15 September it had 6,969 at position 20.5, with clicks unchanged, 33 then 34. We treat that as a reporting change, not a result.
ProblemA narrow, specialist audience.The buyers are compliance, quality and manufacturing teams in pharma, biotech, medical devices, animal health and food and beverage. Broad industry terms do not reach them. Their specific problems do.

THE RESULT

Ten months, six numbers

Every figure comes from Google Search Console for gmppros.com, June 2025 to March 2026. Clicks are compared across the whole window. Impressions and position are compared only after Google’s September 2025 counting change. Nothing modelled, nothing extrapolated.

The month it turned

Clicks doubled in a month

Clicks were 259 in December 2025 and 533 in January 2026. Against November, before the December dip, it was still 283 to 533. Impressions doubled too, 88,723 to 179,298, both counted after Google’s change. Our records do not date a single piece of work to that month, so this is timing, not a claim of cause.

MONTH BY MONTH

The full arc

Two measures, two charts. Clicks and position sit on different scales, so putting them on one axis would flatter the story.

Average positionLower is better, so this axis is inverted. Most of the September 2025 jump is Google’s counting change, not ranking. December 2025 got worse before it got better.

THE FULL RECORD

Month by month

Every month from June 2025 to March 2026, with its real numbers. January 2026 more than doubled clicks on the month before. September 2025 is marked because Google changed how it counts impressions and position that month.

Google stopped serving 100 results per page in mid-September 2025. Impressions and average position before that point are not directly comparable with the months after it. Clicks were not affected in the same way. This case study covers June 2025 to March 2026.
