if you stop doing seo for your website the ranks will fall from google

If your previously high-ranking website seems to have fallen out of Google altogether, you are probably teetering somewhere between panic and desperation. As friendly consultants who care about your mental health, we want you to know this first:

Don’t panic! You probably didn’t get banned.
Give this a few hours and see if it works itself out.
