<b>Q: We moved domains 3 weeks ago and traffic is still down. Normal?</b>

Short answer: yes, three weeks is still inside the messy window. Don't panic-revert.

Long answer: Google has to recrawl every old URL, follow the redirect, and re-evaluate the new one. For a mid-size site that's typically 2-6 weeks of wobble, sometimes longer for deep pages crawled rarely. A 10-25% dip that's slowly recovering is the normal shape. What's NOT normal: a dip that keeps deepening past week 4, or pages dropping fully out of the index.

Quick checks while you wait:

— Spot-check 20 old URLs: do they 301 in one hop to the right new URL?
— In Search Console, is the old property's clicks falling while the new one's rises? That handoff is the signal you want.

Next step: give it to week 6 before judging. Log your daily clicks now so you can see the trend, not just today's scary number.
