As can be seen, we're dying on our arse from what was mid page 1 for all terms to now page 3 and dropping rapidly. Google forums havent managed to spot anything glaring but theres clearly a problem and a big one.
Anyone seen this before? We had a penalty early on and that resulted in a straight forward 10page drop overnight but 2-3 places per day just seems weird.
The fact Search Console is currently running 7 days behind isnt helping anything either!

I will never understand why people are so aggressive toward someone looking for help or advice. Still, there is some good advice here.
Anyway, are you talking about the Google.co.uk? (A nice volume for a keyword, going from the page 1 must be hurting you really bad).
I've just checked current rankings for the three keywords you mentioned.
I've looked at the competitors ranking on the first page and clearly, they have a better link profile. This is a classic mistake many of us are making with websites, ignoring link building. I must admit, it is the most boring thing, that's for sure. Look at the list below, your site is at the bottom. A low in link rank
You have the worst Alexa rank between top 10 competitors and the age of domain doesn't help too, considering there are guys with 14 years old domains on the list.
I believe that situation is not helpless.You don't have many pages on site and you are relying only on the index page, right? I would go for new pages targeting relevant keywords. I wasn't doing page analysis for each page, just the basic check showing things like:
1. Broken links - example
http://www.escortshunt.com/UK/
2. Empty meta descriptions - example
https://bonds-newcastle-escorts.co.u...hp?escortid=33
3. Duplicate titles on 7 pages
4.Few empty title tags and alt texts
5. 110! do follow links
6. Dynamic URLs
7. Page with long redirect chain:
https://bonds-newcastle-escorts.co.uk/index.php
8.It seems you are missing social signals while some guys there has tons of them like
http://newcastle.backpage.co.uk/FemaleEscorts/
So there are many things that have to be improved and that takes time, I know.Drop me PM if you don't want to go public with more details about your site.
