SEO to reverse Google Penalty

Rebuilding a site's organic traffic base after a penalty.

Project summary

After being manually penalised by Google due to some shady links pointing at their domain, this site approached seoWorks for assistance with rebuilding the organic traffic base. The siteโ€™s penalty had arisen due to a mix of backlinks from forum, profile and comment spam.

Following completion of an initial SEO audit, seoWorks identified several thousand links from more than 500 domains that were flagged as problematic and spammy. This backlink profile had triggered a manual penalty on the domain. Through contacting webmasters, building disavowal lists, and working with Googleโ€™s search console, seoWorks was able to get the manual penalty removed, restoring organic traffic to the site.

Following the removal of the penalty, seoWorks executed an SEO plan for ongoing onsite optimization and white hat link outreach to improve the quality of the siteโ€™s link profile, ensuring that such a manual action would not affect the site again, and building a foundation for continued healthy organic traffic growth.
