To help dive into the issue, we look beyond surface-level metrics and dig deep into your site’s history to identify exactly what triggered the decline and build an actionable roadmap to recover your traffic drop.

1. Diagnose the Cause + Identify What’s Led to Your Traffic Drops
We will start by getting a timeline together of your traffic drops and cross-referencing it with confirmed Google algorithm or spam updates. We will also look into other possible explanations being discussed by reputable SEOs to determine if you are the victim of a silent update from Google or a manual spam action.
2. Initial Cleanup by Pruning Your Site of the Cause
Whether we need to remove scaled AI content that Google deemed “unhelpful” or delete spammy doorway location pages, we audit your entire website and execute a strategic pruning strategy to carve away any content or links at fault.
3. Rebuild and Restore Your Site’s Trust with Google
We will then optimize your site’s architecture, resolve outstanding errors in Google Search Console, and strive to rebuild your site’s Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T).
Core Areas of Our SEO & AI Recovery Services
Different shortcuts trigger different Google penalties. Our team provides specialized SEO penalty help tailored to the specific strategies that caused your drop:
Scaled AI Content & Over-Optimization
Scaling content with AI seemed like a shortcut to traffic, and you probably saw great results until Google’s updates started targeting unhelpful, mass-produced text. Recent spam updates in 2026 have targeted this approach specifically.
Algorithmic & Google Penalty Recovery
From link spam updates to major core ranking shifts, we investigate the root cause of your visibility loss. We analyze technical errors, user experience (UX) signals, and backlink health to formulate a comprehensive algorithm update recovery plan that gets your site back in Google’s good graces.
Programmatic Doorway Location Pages
If your site relied on hundreds of thin, automated location pages targeting every suburb in a region, you may have been hit by a “doorway page” or local spam filter.
Mass Link Buying or Blackhat Link Building
In the early days of SEO, you could just go and buy some links and suddenly land on page 1 of Google. Now, this approach no longer works, as it takes tactful and honest tactics to gain authoritative links.
Reverse SEO or SEO Attacks from Competitors
Given that SEO is oftentimes an “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em” type of game. And especially for businesses in niches where you are up against a lot of competition (home services, law, etc), we have seen some brands get attacked by angry competitors. This could include negative review attacks, backlink attacks, and more.
New Website Launch without Proper SEO
Have you launched a new site and are wondering why your traffic has tanked all of a sudden? Unless your developers and team took steps to keep your equity intact, new website launches can deplete all your hard-earned rankings.
Malware or Hijacking Attack of Spam
Sadly, it’s becoming more and more common that websites are targets of malware attacks, where hijackers will inject spammy URLs onto their domain, causing Google to lose trust in your site.

Answers to Common Questions About Our Recovery Services
Q: How long does SEO/GEO penalty recovery take?
A: Unlike standard SEO growth, recovery timing depends heavily on Google’s crawl cycles. Even though some changes may be quick, it can take time for Google to take notice. Once we clean up toxic patterns (such as removing AI content or pruning spammy GEO pages), it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months for Google to re-evaluate your site and restore your rankings. Or, it may even take for Google’s next algorithm update to give you a recovery boost.
Q: Can a site fully recover after a major algorithm update drop?
A: In most cases, yes. If you systematically address the reasons your site was flagged, with time, it is possible to regain your lost rankings and often build a more stable foundation for future traffic. However, in unique cases where over time, no recovery is seen, we will come up with a plan for alternative routes of action.
