A ranking is only an opportunity to be seen. First check whether the keyword reflects a buying need. Then look at clicks, whether the page builds trust, and how easy it is to contact you.
First identify which traffic source, pages and queries declined, and make sure tracking still works. Do not look at total traffic alone and immediately blame SEO rankings.
Start with the needs generating impressions and clicks, the pages people visit, and the relevant inquiries that result. Site-wide average position or total traffic can provide clues, but cannot determine value on their own.
