I'M SCREAMING (But Quietly, Baby's Sleeping). My Blog Post Is BACK on Page 1 of Google

Okay y’all… I am SCREAMING (on the inside because it’s late and I don’t want to wake up baby girl 😂), but I am SO HYPED right now!!
About 4 weeks ago, I wrote this post here talking about revamping one of my old websites:
👉🏽 Why I’m Revamping in 2025
I had written the original version back in 2017 and it stayed on the first page of Google for a few years. But as life happened and my mental health took a hit, my energy and consistency with business dropped off and so did my rankings.
You can read more about that part of my journey here if you’re curious or in the same boat:
👉🏽 My Website Journey From 2018 To Now
But TODAY…
THAT POST IS BACK ON PAGE ONE. POSITION 3.
In regular, non-AI, non-sponsored Google results.
Y’all… my hands were literally shaking when I saw it. I couldn’t yell (because again, baby girl’s asleep), but you better believe I wanted to!

📈 Traffic Spike? Oh Yes!
To top it off, I just checked my stats and my site has had a 177% increase in traffic over the last 28 days which equals just under 460 visitors! 😁
I haven’t seen a major change in earnings yet (Google’s new layout with AI blurbs, shopping sliders, and sponsored results definitely adds some new challenges), but this spike is real and it’s giving me so much hope and momentum.
🙌🏽 Why This Win Matters So Much
It’s not just about the ranking. It’s what the ranking represents.
It means:
✅ The work is working.
✅ The comeback is real.
✅ That old content my audience loved still has life in it when paired with new strategy and new energy.
✅ And most of all, it means you can come back after falling off.
💬 Final Takeaway (For You & For Me)
Don’t count yourself out just because you hit pause.
SEO takes time, but it also rewards patience, effort, and authenticity. You don’t need to chase gimmicks. You just need to keep showing up.
If you’re rebuilding, relaunching, or starting fresh, I’m right there with you. Today’s win is proof that even when it feels like no one is watching… Google is. 😏
And sometimes, that one update, that one refresh, that one moment of believing in yourself again… is all it takes to get back on track.
Let’s keep going. 🙌🏽
