Sistrix’s Visibility Index measures how visible a website is in Google search results, assigning higher scores to sites that rank better in search results. Among the ten sites with the highest search visibility scores, six saw double-digit percentage drops. However a solid visibility score does not guarantee a newsbrand will get shown at the top of Google results. The MEN was 34th highest on our ranking of news websites by visibility score as of 6 October, with a score of 10. The biggest drop when looking at actual visibility score was at the Daily Mail, which saw a -14.2 change (down 27%) to 36.8.
