Real brands we have grown with SEO and AI Search, across ecommerce, lead generation and local.
Traffic gone with no obvious cause? Before assuming a penalty, it is worth separating the four possibilities: a manual action, an algorithmic demotion, a technical fault, or a competitor simply improving. They look identical in analytics and need completely different responses.
A sharp fall in traffic or conversions is a signal worth investigating quickly, because manual actions in particular do not resolve on their own.
Our team has worked through hundreds of recovery cases, and the majority turn out to be algorithmic rather than manual, which changes the entire approach.
We do more than remove the problem. Recovery without a plan for what comes next usually means the same site is back in the same position within a year.

Each algorithm revision moves the rules. A wide range of Google systems can suppress a site, and identifying which one is the whole diagnostic problem.
Google looks for a mobile speed score of 50/100 or higher, and it has begun penalizing sites that fall below 50. A page that loads slowly tends to bleed customers and conversions because the experience frustrates visitors. To head that off, we offer speed optimization services.
Most browsing happens on phones, so a site failing on mobile is failing for the majority of its visitors, and Google measures it accordingly.
Our Process
A calm, methodical path from diagnosis to full recovery, with no guesswork and no risky shortcuts.
We audit your rankings, link profile, and Search Console data to confirm exactly what triggered the penalty.
We clean up toxic links, thin content, and technical issues, documenting every fix along the way.
We file reconsideration requests where needed and track rankings closely as your traffic returns.
We harden your site against future algorithm updates so recovered visibility keeps compounding into enquiries.

We know how much organic traffic matters, and we know how to optimize your site so it earns top positions across the major search engines.
We are digital marketing specialists focused on penalty recovery and the technical diagnosis that has to come before it.
The aim is to win back traffic and rankings by tracing the cause rather than treating the symptom, which is why we start with diagnosis rather than cleanup.
Recovery reports set out where the site stands, what caused the fall, what we recommend, and an honest assessment of how much is realistically recoverable.
Still unsure whether what you are seeing is actually a penalty?
Check Search Console for a manual action first. If there is none, you are looking at an algorithmic demotion, a technical fault or a competitor improving, and those three are frequently mistaken for each other.
Manual actions can lift within weeks of a successful reconsideration request. Algorithmic recovery usually waits for the next core update, which can be months away regardless of how fast you fix things.
Most, but not all at the original level. Sites that ranked on tactics Google has since devalued sometimes recover to a lower and more honest baseline, and we will say so rather than promise otherwise.
Rarely. Google discounts most low-quality links automatically, and aggressive disavowing removes value more often than risk. It matters after a manual action or a genuine negative SEO attack.
Thin or duplicated content, an unnatural link profile, or a competitor simply doing better. Core updates tend to reveal existing weakness rather than create new problems.
Yes. A large share of the cases we take on trace back to previous agency work, and knowing that is what stops it recurring.
Therapy practices hit by health-related quality updates rebuild through credential and sourcing work.
Law firms carrying risky link profiles or thin pages recover rankings and win back high-value enquiries.
Healthcare sites affected by core updates rebuild trust through the expertise signals Google actually rewards.
