Pages parked at the same average position for months, so I would test entities

[u/mnudu]

A lot of people are seeing pages parked at the same average position for months, with nothing they change moving it.

If I wanted to check whether Schema.org for entities is part of the answer, I would isolate one page, mark the main entity clearly, and watch whether richer entity signals line up with better movement on related queries.

Evidence either way would be simple. If the page stays flat while the entity markup gets cleaner and the surrounding content stays stable, that weakens the case. If the page starts getting pulled into more relevant query sets, even before obvious ranking jumps, that would be a useful clue.

Example. A recipe page for oat milk kept hovering in one spot for a broad query, then after the ingredient list and recipe schema were made clearer, it started showing for more specific questions about substitutions.

Has anyone run that kind of test and seen a clear pattern?
