Find this week's biggest position movers (winners + losers)

Compare the last 7 days vs the prior 7 days and rank queries by position change, weighted by impressions.

The prompt

Copy this and paste it into Claude, Cursor, or any AI client connected to your GenieSeo MCP URL.

prompt
Compare my Search Console performance for the last 7 days vs the prior 7 days. For my main verified property:

1. List the 10 queries with the biggest DROPS in average position, weighted by impressions in the more recent period. Include: query, old position, new position, impressions, the page that ranks for it.
2. List the 10 queries with the biggest GAINS, same columns.
3. For each row in both lists, give a 1-line guess at the most likely cause (algorithm update, content edit, new competitor, indexing change, seasonal). Mark guesses you're uncertain about.

Format both lists as Markdown tables. Sort each list by impressions × |position delta| descending.

When to use it

Run every Monday as your weekly review opener. Catches algorithm tremors, deindexings, and content-update wins early — usually within the first day a change shows up in Search Console.

What you get back

  • Top 10 queries with the biggest position drops, with old / new position, impressions, and the URL each query lands on.
  • Top 10 queries with the biggest position gains, same shape.
  • A 1-line probable cause for each (algo update, content edit, new competitor, indexing change).

How this runs

GenieSeo doesn't execute prompts — your AI client does. Make sure your MCP URL is connected to Claude, Cursor, Codex, or Antigravity. New here? Read the 60-second setup guide.

What is a GenieSeo recipe?+

A recipe is a copy-paste prompt you run inside Claude, Cursor, or Codex after connecting your GenieSeo MCP URL. It tells the model which Search Console or GA4 tools to call and how to format the answer.
