Which manual action
did you receive?
Select the issue from your Search Console report.
Pure spam
When whole sections of a site are built on spam.
What it can look like
An expired domain is republished with thousands of copied product reviews. The same articles appear across category pages with only the product names changed.
How recovery
works.
From the first Search Console notice to the weeks after Google lifts the action, here’s what happens and where your team is involved.
Start your enquiryEnquire through the website
Start with your domain and the notice you received in Search Console. If you have already submitted a reconsideration request, include Google’s reply so we can see where things stand.
Your recovery brief
The most useful starting points are the exact wording of the manual action, the date it appeared and any example URLs Google supplied. If no examples are listed, the notice itself is enough to start.
- Website domain
- Manual action notice
- Previous review history
Speak with our recovery team
A member of our team gets in touch to talk through the notice, recent changes to your site and any clean-up work you have already tried.
Initial consultation
We agree what access is needed for the diagnostic and who on your side can help with the CMS, development or previous SEO activity. You can flag release dates and restrictions that could affect the work.
- Site history discussed
- Previous fixes reviewed
- Diagnostic access agreed
Review the diagnostic and cost
We explain what triggered the action, which pages or templates appear to be affected and what needs to change. You receive a written scope and a quote before deciding whether to book.
Diagnostic & quotation
For example, a handful of URLs in the notice may point to a fault in a template used across an entire directory. We show you the evidence, explain how far the problem extends and set out who will handle each fix.
- Affected areas and evidence
- Proposed work and dependencies
- Cost for your approval
Book the work and we fix it
Once you approve the quote and book the work, we carry out the agreed fixes, coordinate changes with your developers where needed and check the result on the live site.
Record of completed fixes
We check other pages that share the same problem, including URLs beyond Google’s examples. The team records what was removed, rewritten or corrected and what will stop the issue recurring.
- Changes implemented
- Live URLs checked
- Before-and-after evidence
Stay with you through reconsideration
We prepare the request with you, setting out the cause, the fixes and the evidence. Our support continues until Google confirms the manual action has been lifted.
Reconsideration record
If Google comes back with an unsuccessful review, we go through the response with you, investigate what remains and help prepare the next submission. Google controls the review decision and timing.
- Request and supporting evidence
- Google’s response reviewed
- Follow-up work where needed
SEO support before and after review
Before submission, we capture the search performance baseline and check that the clean-up has preserved important pages. After the action is lifted, we track what Google recrawls and where visibility starts to return.
Recovery monitoring plan
We compare affected directories and queries in Search Console, check indexing on priority URLs and flag any redirect, canonical or internal linking issues introduced during the fixes. That evidence guides the next round of SEO work.
- Pre-review search baseline
- Indexing and visibility checks
- Prioritised follow-up SEO work
