My page [address] gets far fewer Google clicks than it used to. Compare the [4 weeks] before [date] with the [4 weeks] after, search by search, and show me which searches lost clicks or position. Check that the page is still indexed and what Google reports about it. Look at the changes made through SAR around that date and read the page as it is now. Give me the likely causes in order, and what I could do about each. Change nothing.
Already connected?
If SAR is already in your AI app, this is enough:
Find out why [page address] lost Google clicks after [date], search by search; change nothing.
What happens
- The AI app compares the two periods in Search Console and reads the page's searches in each.
- It inspects the address for its indexing status in Google.
- It lists the changes SAR made on your site around that date.
- It reads the page as it is now and gives you the likely causes in order. Nothing changes.
Approvals involved
Nothing here changes your site: no approval needed.

What you get
A reasoned answer for one page, instead of a guess. If a change made through SAR lines up with the drop, it can be undone within 30 days. Search Console data lags two to three days.
