Algorithm and penalty recovery diagnoses why a site lost rankings after a Google update or manual action and fixes the cause. We compare the timing with known updates, find the affected pages, review content quality and links, clean up what needs it, and file a reconsideration request when there is a manual action.
Why it matters now
Guessing after an update often makes things worse. Recovery depends on matching the drop to the right cause, whether that is thin content, unnatural links, a technical error or a shift in what Google rewards.

Frequently asked questions
How long does recovery take?
Manual actions can lift soon after a successful reconsideration. Algorithmic recovery usually shows at a later update, after the fixes have been in place for a while.
Should we disavow links?
Rarely. Disavowing is for clear manipulative link schemes or manual actions. For most sites, Google already ignores low-quality links.
