Your first reconsideration request often sets the tone for the whole recovery, so it pays to get it right.
A notice in Search Console says a human reviewer at Google has flagged your site for a policy violation. The penalty is costing you traffic, and it’s hard to know where to begin.
Recovery means understanding the cause, fixing the underlying issue and submitting a reconsideration request, which asks Google to look at the site again. We handle each of those steps and stay with you through the review.
A clear root cause for the manual action
A documented record of how the underlying issue was fixed
A reconsideration request drafted and submitted for you
Support through the review if Google asks for more information
We read Google’s notice and work out what triggered it, whether that is links, content, structured data or something else.
We fix the underlying issue and write down every change, because Google will want to see the work.
We draft the reconsideration request from that record and submit it, showing Google what went wrong and what changed.
We answer any follow-up from Google. If the request is denied, we review the feedback, fix what remains and submit again.
A manual action calls for someone who reads Search Console data closely and tells you plainly which fixes matter. For sites with complex indexing problems or manual actions, we have seen the patterns before and know how to work through them efficiently.
The most common are unnatural links, inbound or outbound, along with thin content, spammy structured data, cloaking and user-generated spam. Cloaking means showing Google something different from what visitors see. Each cause has its own path to a fix.
Anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the issue. The fix itself varies, and Google’s review of your request adds more waiting on top of that.
No, and no honest SEO does. What we can guarantee is that the underlying issue gets addressed properly and your reconsideration request is well documented. That is what gives you the best chance.
We review Google’s feedback, address what remains and submit again. It’s quite normal for recovery to take more than one round.
