Google penalty recovery service
Traffic lost to a Google penalty, spam update or core update? I diagnose the real cause, repair it and rebuild so the site survives the next update. Diagnosis in five working days.
Three signs a Google update took your traffic
These are the checks I run first, in this order.
The drop date matches an update
If traffic fell within days of a confirmed spam or core update rollout, the update is the prime suspect, not your hosting and not seasonality.
Many pages fell at once
Site-wide losses point to a site-wide signal, usually the backlink profile or a content quality reassessment, rather than one broken page.
A manual action, or nothing
Most losses today are algorithmic. No notice, no reconsideration request, no shortcut. The fix is removing the cause.
Diagnose, repair, rebuild
Diagnosis before anything is touched
Full technical and backlink audit: crawl and index health, anchor profile, link velocity, cannibalisation, 404s. A recovery built on the wrong diagnosis wastes months, so nothing changes until the cause is clear.
Repair
A disavow file for links that are genuinely toxic, and only those, because over-disavowing does its own damage. 301 redirects for broken equity, content consolidation where pages compete for one query, and reindexing of pages dropped on technical faults.
Rebuild
Internal linking reworked so equity reaches the pages that earn revenue, anchor diversity restored, and a content plan built to hold through the next core update instead of gaming the last one.
What it looks like when it works
Spam update
Backlink cleanup, cannibalisation fixes and redirect repairs brought back about 45,000 organic visits a month. The site came through the next core update stronger.
SERP authority
Toxic link disavow and private network cleanup put key commercial pages back in position, with traffic rising since.
Rebuilt before the update
Keyword plan, internal links and content fixed weeks ahead, so traffic trended up through the update instead of through the floor.
What it costs and how long it takes
Diagnosis is delivered inside five working days. Recovery timelines depend on what Google has to recrawl and reassess, and algorithmic recoveries typically show first movement at the next update cycle. A diagnosis-only audit starts under $1,000. Full recovery work is scoped after the diagnosis and most projects fall between $1,000 and $5,000, with weekly reporting until rankings stabilise.
Can you guarantee recovery?
No one honest can. What I guarantee is a correct diagnosis, a repair that addresses it, and transparent reporting either way.
My traffic dropped but there was no update. Same service?
Yes. The diagnosis is identical and will identify the real cause, update or not.
Do you work in French?
Yes. I run recoveries in English and French, including French-market iGaming sites. Version française.
