After months without being shown, my site gets back to rich results

Hi,

I manage a website which shows information of 200,000+ products, and my traffic dropped in 2019 due to (I guess) the existence of thin content on my pages. I created 3 pages per product (info, photos, reviews), and I guess that Google considered it as low quality.

I merged the three pages into only one, and starting on December 1, I've seen that:
- my webpages started again to be shown on the rich results
- my webpages started to be shown on the review snippets

[i.ibb.co...]
[i.ibb.co...]

However, today (Dec 9), I don't see such traffic and, as you can see on the graphs, there is a drop-off after the peak.

My questions are:
- could I consider that my webpages are going to be again out of the consideration of 'thin content' by Google?
- why is the traffic from rich results and review snippets fading in the last days?

Thank you.

g is in the middle of a core update at the moment. Your time frame is too short to know what future activity will be like.

You will simply have to wait at least a month to get an idea if the changes already implemented will do the trick.

Meanwhile, making MORE changes trying to fix what do you not know what to fix will only make g see a site in turmoil, which will definitely slow down any possibility of rank improvement, or having rich results return.

Take a best guess and change one major thing sitewide, and only one. That way it's easier to undo if traffic tanks again but it will also trigger a sitewide re-evaluation which you want so... do it imo.
