Google Clarifies Discover Metrics Drop: Temporary Reporting Error

Google has clarified a recent reporting issue that caused a temporary drop in Discover metrics. The tech giant confirmed that this was a data logging error, which did not affect actual Google Discover results or traffic.

On October 23rd, Google Search Console users noticed a discrepancy in their performance reports. The issue was traced back to a data logging error, specifically affecting the Discover reporting section. Google later confirmed that this was not a reflection of actual traffic changes.

Initially, Google Search Console messages on October 23, 2022, hinted at a specific logging error, but the details and its exact impact on Google Discover metrics remain unclear. Google has since removed a search feature bug annotation from their list of data anomalies.

Google has assured users that this was a reporting issue only, and no changes were made to actual Google Discover results or traffic. The company is investigating the specifics of the logging error and its impact on metrics. Users can expect accurate reporting moving forward.
