Suddenly lost all ranking words

    Could somebody tell me what happened with my site?
    It had 25-35 daily unique and suddenly from 14.03.2024, the traffic fell to a few daily visits.
    All ranking words are gone.
    It used to have between 45 and 75 ranking words.
    At least 20 ranking words were in the first 10 positions.
    All is gone. All ranking words were gone.
    Is something wrong with my site PueblaCity.com?
    My posts about secret tunnels in Puebla, geyser Cuexcomate, and the post about the best neighborhoods in Puebla always were in the first positions...
    Even when I search for "Puebla city Cuexcomate" or "pueblacity Cuexcomate" there are no posts from my site in the search results!!!!
    Is Google crazy?
    My site doesn't appear in search results even if I google for "pueblacity".
    All posts are indexed, but no post appears in search results.

    Hello friend, exactly the same thing happens to me.
    Google has a hard time reading sitemaps, and has been removing websites from its index for a long time.
    I thought it was because of the content that eliminated the sites from the index, but apparently that has no problem.
    In my experience I use platforms such as blogspot, wordpress, tumblr, and other similar platforms.
    I use the Google Indexing API and the Google Colab tool to index.
    I think it is something general, and it indexes practically nothing.

    Start by checking Google Search Console for any manual actions against your site. These can include penalties for violating Google's webmaster guidelines. If there are any manual actions, Google will typically provide information on what needs to be fixed.
    Make sure there are no technical issues with your website that could be affecting its visibility to search engines. Check for issues like server errors, crawl errors, or problems with your website's structure that could prevent search engines from properly indexing your content.

    There is no manual action, and the server is ok.
    And all my posts are indexed, but no post appears in search results.
    Even my posts from the first positions are gone from search results.
    I updated the sitemap plugin and my sub-sitemaps now have different URLs, but the main sitemap is still https://pueblacity.com/sitemap.xml, but this change I did on 22.03.2024, a week after the traffic problem.
    Previously my posts were ordered by year and month and now all in 1 post-sitemap, but I checked the GSC, and all posts are indexed.

    Besides, my website is NOT deindexed.
    Just are gone all ranking words and my posts don't appear on search results.
    But they all are indexed.
    site:https://pueblacity.com works and shows all my posts.
    But I don't appear in search results, from the other side I still get the organic traffic, but only 7-8 daily results.
    So, sometimes and somewhere my posts do appear, but why I don't get any of my posts when I try to google all my best-ranking words?
    MOZ also shows 0 ranking words.
    But Wordfence live traffic shows visitors come to my posts from Google, but 7-8 daily visits and 0 ranking words mean my posts are somewhere on 200+ positions...

    Not sure where to start:
    this is not good: https://pueblacity.com/listing/ - no listings; the algorithm could detect that as being useless to searchers.
    Spammy footer "Visit and Explore" repeated. .... that also looks like a lot of cross-linking between a network of sites - could be interpreted as spam; a number of links do not even work, so that is a poor signal of quality to the algorithm.
    I see no evidence of anything to do with E-A-T which a number of recent updates focus on.

    It happend in a few ocassion, that suddenly my traffic was gone from 35 uniques to 15, but in 1-2 month it was again 25-35 daily.
    But always I saw at least 40 ranking words.
    This time I see ZERO ranking words, and the more strange think is I even don't see my site in results when I google for "pueblacity".
    I used to be on the 1st page for years.
    From the first month I cretaed this site and published first 20 posts, the site always were in search results "purbla secret tunnels", "puebla city", "pueblacity", etc.

    They could remove that listing from the index.
    I have a few empty posts on my other sites and those empty posts are deindexed, it is ok. Ok, not all of them are empty, some only have a Google Maps only and I need those posts, but Google deindexed them and it is not a problem for me.
    And on the footer I have my other travel sites, soem of them are developed.
    The problem can't be just because of empty listing.
    Ok, I will remove footer links to the still non-developed sites, but it is not the reason to remove me from search results just because of footer links.
    Besides, all my posts are indexed.

    My links to other sites can't be the problem, because they are also travel-related.
    The hyperlinked sentence before the footer recommends visiting the website about Mexico, it is also ok because Puebla is a Mexican city, so I added a reference to visit a guide about more Mexican places to visit.

    I am not sure, but I think a cross-linking between a site network is not a sign of spam if all sites are related, don't have the same content, and are somehow linked.
    I added there a nofollow tags.
    But this is a very insignificant issue for removing me from search results.

    These are the site's stats, traffic grew slowly but steadily, fell a little in December, but then began to grow again, until 14.03.2024.
    But there were always ranking words there, almost from the first month after I started posting. The site never had less than 40 ranking words. And now ZERO.

    I checked my other sites, and they also lost all ranking words.
    They had only between 3 and 10 ranking words, not a big deal, but they all are gone.
    All posts are indexed.
    But 5 out of 7 sites lost all ranking words.
    All sites have the same design and between 40 and 250 posts.

    No one has any idea what happened with my site?
    All posts are indexed, but the site doesn't appear in search results even when I search for "pueblacity" or any of the previous well-ranking words.

    I created this site in December 2021 and just a week later I already got a small traffic. In January 2022 the site had 66 ranking words.

    puebla city - 1st page
    best time to visit puebla - 1st page
    historic center in puebla - 1st page
    historic center of puebla - 1st page
    historic center puebla - 2nd page
    visit puebla city - 1st page
    visit puebla - 1st page
    travel puebla city - 8th page
    travel puebla - not found in first 10 pages
    what to see in puebla - 2ndpage
    what to see in puebla city - 2ndpage
    puebla tunnels - 1st page
    geyser in puebla - 1st page
    puebla handicraft market - 1st page
    handicraft market in puebla - 1st page
    colonial buildings in puebla - 1st page
    cathedral in puebla - 2nd page
    neighborhood of puebla - 2rd page

    There is still a very low organic traffic, only 5-9 daily visits and I see all these visitors come from Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo etc... It means somewhere and somehow they see my posts in search results... But how and where?
    Previously the site used to get 25-35 daily organic traffic.
