    1. Google Search Console has been very slow for the past ~24 hours in Europe – anyone else experiencing this?
    2. SEO clients keep saying "we don't see the results" even when rankings are up. Has anyone tried video reports instead of PDFs?
    3. After months of rapid keyword and traffic growth, keywords now plummeting (on SEMrush). Clicks returning to levels from 3 months ago. Normal behaviour or cause for concern?
