Google Penalty Recovery: How does it work?
In order to resolve and recover your traffic and rankings after a Google penalty, we are following a very precise plan to be sure to be successful. To do so, we need to consider all the following actions:
Collecting Backlink Data
The first step is to collect all your inbound link data and URL from referral domains. To do so, we are using Google tools as well as third party tools to be sure to get all the necessary information without letting anything out.
Identify Spam Links
From the complete list of backlinks we created, we will identify the low-quality or even spammy links that might have caused the Google penalty on the first place. We consider domain authority, indexation status, out-going links, low quality blogs or forum and much more.
Contact Webmasters
Then we will personally reach out to all the webmasters to have the low quality links removed directly at the source. This is a long but necessary process to prove to Google that we are doing everything in our power to resolve the penalty and low quality links issue.
Using Disavow Tools
Additionally, once our link profile has been cleaned up, we will use Google Disavow tool to be able to declare all the offending links that we didn't manage to remove by contacting the webmasters. This tool is to use very carefully and need a very specific syntax to be considered valid.
Submit a Reconsideration Request
The reconsideration process is the final part to obtain the recovery from a Google penalty. We will basically contact the Google Webspam team to ask them to reconsider your website case showing that we took all the necessary steps and actions to rectify the wrong-doing.
Wait for Positive Feedback
We Sit back, brew a coffee or tea and wait for Google Search Quality Team to reply to your request. At this point, that is the only thing we can do! Reconsideration are usually taking from a few days to 2 weeks. Until now we have had 100% success rate in our requests, we are expecting to keep this percentage as it is!
