The problem
Most recovery attempts fail because they guess at the cause
Algorithm updates, manual actions, technical breaks, and migrations all look similar on the surface — but each requires a different fix.
Common symptoms
- Traffic dropped sharply after a known algorithm update
- Manual action or penalty notice in Search Console
- Rankings declined gradually with no obvious cause
- Traffic crashed after a site migration or redesign
- Previous recovery attempts haven't worked
How we fix it
- Forensic diagnosis comparing your site against the specific update or change
- Content quality and E-E-A-T audit if a Helpful Content-type update is suspected
- Technical comparison of pre- and post-migration site structure
- Link profile review to rule out manual action or toxic link causes
- A phased recovery roadmap with realistic timelines, not guesswork

FAQ
Common questions about SEO recovery
Check the "Manual Actions" report in Google Search Console — if it's empty, your drop is likely algorithmic rather than a penalty. We confirm this as the first step of any recovery engagement.
It depends on the cause. Technical fixes can show improvement within weeks. Content quality issues tied to algorithm updates typically take 3–6 months, since Google needs to recrawl and reassess your site's overall quality signals.
No ethical agency can guarantee full recovery, since some declines reflect permanent shifts in search behavior or competition. We aim for maximum realistic recovery and are transparent about what's achievable based on our diagnosis.
Many drops are caused by technical issues, accidental noindex tags, or migration errors rather than algorithm updates. Our diagnosis process checks all of these possibilities, not just the most publicized cause.
