Website suddenly dropped off I have 3 nearly identical websites for 3 different local businesses in my area. I apply the same SEO strategies to all of them and it has been working fine up until last week.

Plural search term leads to a single product instead of category I have noticed this many times on my site for year randomly but noticed it with a one of my competitor's too.
