Prompt
Using Semrush data for {country}:
Identify pages on {your-domain.com} that have lost the most organic traffic over the past 6 months.
Step 1 — Use Semrush Organic Research to get {your-domain.com}'s pages by organic traffic, sorted by traffic ascending. Exclude the homepage, pagination pages, and tag/category pages.
Step 2 — For each of the top 20 pages by lowest current traffic: use Semrush to pull each page's ranking history for the past 6 months for the top keyword per page.
Return ONE table:
Columns:
* page_url
* current_monthly_traffic
* traffic_6mo_ago (estimated)
* traffic_change (%)
* top_keyword
* current_position
* position_6mo_ago
Limit: 20 pages.
Sort by traffic_change ascending (largest drop first). If historical data is unavailable for a page, mark as low_data.
