SEO Penalty Recovery Services
When a site's traffic or rankings drop sharply, whether from a Google manual action or an algorithmic update, we diagnose the actual cause before recommending any fix, rather than guessing at generic cleanup work.
That starts with checking Google Search Console for manual action notices, reviewing the site's backlink profile for spammy or unnatural links, auditing content for thin or duplicate pages, and checking whether the drop lines up with a known algorithm update. Recovery work depends entirely on the diagnosis — it might mean a disavow file and reconsideration request for a manual action, or content and technical cleanup if it's algorithmic. We're upfront that recovery timelines vary and aren't something any provider can promise.
Manual Action Diagnosis
Checking Google Search Console and site history to confirm whether a drop is a manual action, algorithmic, or something else entirely.
Backlink Profile Review
Auditing your backlink profile for spammy or unnatural links that may be contributing to a penalty.
Content & Technical Cleanup
Identifying and fixing thin content, duplicate pages, or technical issues commonly associated with algorithmic ranking drops.
Reconsideration Request Support
Preparing disavow files and reconsideration requests where a confirmed manual action requires one.
How it Works
Diagnosis
We review Search Console data, backlink profile, and site history to determine what actually caused the drop.

Remediation
We fix the identified issues, cleaning up links, content, or technical problems depending on the diagnosis.
Recovery Monitoring
We monitor rankings and traffic after remediation and submit a reconsideration request if a manual action was involved.

Frequently Asked Questions
A manual action shows up as a specific notice in Google Search Console. If there's no notice but traffic dropped sharply, it's more likely tied to an algorithmic update — we check both before recommending any fix.
It varies significantly depending on the cause and how long the issue has been present — a confirmed manual action with a clean reconsideration request can resolve faster than a broad algorithmic hit that requires content-wide changes. We won't promise a specific timeline because it genuinely depends on the diagnosis.
No — no honest provider can guarantee full recovery, since some algorithmic changes reflect a permanent shift in how content is evaluated. What we can commit to is an honest diagnosis and thorough remediation work.
It depends on the scope of the issue — a backlink audit and disavow is a smaller job than a full content and technical overhaul. Contact us for a quote once we've diagnosed the cause.
Search Console access (or help getting it verified), and any history of past SEO work, link building, or content changes around the time traffic dropped — the more context, the faster we can diagnose the cause.
We monitor through the active recovery period, and ongoing monitoring can continue afterward if you want early warning of future drops — that's arranged separately based on what you need.
