Penalty Recovery

Diagnose the drop, fix what caused it, and get the traffic back where it’s recoverable.

Recovery after an algorithm update, a manual action, or a decline nobody can explain — starting with an honest read on what’s recoverable.

You need this if… be honest

Traffic fell sharply after a known update.

There’s a manual action in Search Console.

A slow decline that no one can explain.

What it isn’t

A promise to recover everything. Some losses are permanent; we’ll tell you which.

What we actually do

The work, line by line.

No vague “strategy” line items. These are the pieces you’ll see in the plan, the reports and your inbox.

01

Forensic diagnosis

Matching the drop to updates, changes and competitors.

02

Cause isolation

Technical, content or links — or a mix.

03

Staged remediation

Fixes in the order most likely to recover.

04

Reconsideration

For manual actions, handled properly.

05

Prevention

So it doesn’t happen again.

How fast can we recover?
