Google Search Console reports almost no impressions or clicks after migrating to HTTPS

Question

One of our website has ranked well on Google and showed good Google Impression & Clicks etc.. Around July we implemented SSL for our website and website was now only available over https://www.example.com

A proper 301 redirect at root level so all previous link are redirected to HTTPS. For example:

• http://www.example.com | https://www.example.com
• http://www.example.com/page1 | https://www.example.com/page1
• http://www.example.com/page2 | https://www.example.com/page2

I kept monitoring website and noticed consistent website traffic on, on the other side I noticed number going down for Impression & Clicks

When I raised this on forum I was told this is quite normal and it will recover with time but its almost 6-7 months now with no improvement in Impression & Clicks.

Do I need to worry about this and how can I get back on normal Impression & Clicks

Answer 1

When you switch to https all your URLs change from http to https.

Google Search Console considers that a different site, it also considers the inclusion of www makes it a different site.

You need to verify that other site with the Google Search Console and look at its data.

Answer 2

You can redirect you web site or include it by http and https both ,with www or non-www but you have to inform Google this change
