I'll try and summarize this the best I can:

I'm an online guitar teacher. I use wix. About a year ago I was getting 2 or 3 student inquiries and month but felt I could do better. I had ChatGPT 'audit' it and I implemented its recommendations, mostly page titles, content key words etc. And my inquiries died over night. I checked my Google Search Console and in the last 28 days I've 4 clicks and 290 impressions. I can't remember what I changed so I can't undo anything.

I have a Google Business page with lots of great reviews. I use to get a lot of inquiries from there too when I lived in the city...but then I moved to the sticks and stupidly changed my Google Business address...now I don't appear in the city anymore, I tried changing my Google Business profile to 'Online Only' so it wouldn't consider my new location but that hasn't seemed to help.

I don't have the money to hire an SEO agent and I have no idea who to 'trust' on YouTube. It can't be that hard to appear as a guitar teacher in my area can it!?

Would love any and all advice, TIA!

I get some work through Fiverr, not lots. I've had 24 orders, all with 5 stars except one which was 4.3 about a year ago. It knocked my rating down for a minute but then after a few more 5 star reviews it was back to a rating of 5.

I just finished another order and had a gushing 5 star review and immediately my rating is now 4.9 - I'm confused. Is the rating dependent on public review or the private survey Fiverr sends round after...or both? Could it be their survey answers dropped my rating?

TIA!
