Sometimes clicks and impressions go down because of what?

Business is dynamic, not static - you will never get the same number of buyers walking into the store on a given day, these numbers change on a daily basis, so the number of buyers searching for your services will change each day as well as the number of impressions that you have. In addition to normal variations in buyer traffic, there are other factors, such as economic and political factors, that may affect buyer traffic to Fiverr.

Also, performance constantly changes with each order -  a negative private review from a buyer can affect your gig's visibility for three months or more. And if another seller has more orders, or delivers faster and has more happy buyers than you, they will be shown higher up in search. Your performance (as well as the performance of other sellers in your category) can affect your visibility in search.

If you've made changes to your gig, that might also affect your impressions - obviously, you want to make changes that will positively impact your gigs but sometimes a change will negatively impact your gigs. So it's important to monitor your gigs' performance for a few weeks after making a change to see if you need to revert back to your previous settings.

The tough part is figuring out why your impressions are going down, because sometimes it's a combination of factors. However, focus on what you can do. Try to turn the impressions you are getting into clicks, and convert those clicks into orders.

Here's a useful article that I wrote to help people understand the factors that affect your visibility in search:

And here's an article on what you can do when you don't have any orders:

Kudos for "visibility" instead of "ranking". You heard it first from Charlie!
