Now it always happens in reality that the website on which the traffic is less, its rank position is also less.

But one day an earthquake occurs in this small town, so now after this earthquake, when people search on Google about this small town or search about that earthquake, then this small town will appear in Google’s systems search results.

This will increase the ranking of the website.

So at the time of this crisis, that small website will give maximum information and most accurate information about that city because this information will be with that small website and not with any big website!

Here one more thing is worth noting CIS is a Trigger Base ranking signal i.e. this ranking signal is not Permanent.
