What to do when your website is losing search engine ranking?

There is a useful SEM tool called SEMRUSH which can be used to find whether your site is getting penalized or not. It comes with a call position feature which demonstrates for how many keywords, your website has lost the ranking and for how many keywords you gained the rankings. If your website has lost keyword ranking to a great extent it means that you have been penalized by any of the Google updates such as Panda.
