Short-term fluctuations don't matter. Certainly you shouldn't check any ranking more often than once a day. Then you can use a 7-day moving average to smoothe it out.

Even better, look at a monthly chart. These show the long-term trend, which is what really counts.

^^^ Well agree that anything more often then a weekly average is just a waste of time and blood pressure.

Secondary, during the CoVid-19 <pandemic> the world is undergoing at the moment the serps will have even stranger results than usual.

Last thing desired to hear: be patient. This, too, will pass ... and take six months after THAT before real numbers and users actually return.

Under the current Google algo your rankings will not remain in a fixed position, this is G2020, a slightly, and possibly constantly, moving feast as you improve / modify pages, as your competitors improve / modify pages.

Some new pages seem to be indexed and ranked very quickly (within a couple of weeks) whereas others seemingly still taking 2-4 months.

IME there's nothing a standard site can do about this, obviously news sites do get special treatment and possibly new products from very large producers / manufacturers but the rest of us need to sit back and relax a bit more ... constantly champing at the bit will get you nowhere other than affect your well being / health.

It is important that your customers also know this!
