Does this sound familiar
traffic fell within a week · you received a Search Console notice · rankings worsened after a hack or update · a vendor says “it’s a penalty” but shows no evidence.
Find out whether it is a penalty and get your site back on track
We diagnose traffic drops and possible penalties by reviewing search engine notices, change history, indexation and page quality to answer “is this a penalty or something else?” It suits sites with a sudden traffic drop, a notice in webmaster tools or an unclear record of changes. The goal is to focus effort on the real cause: a drop is often caused by technical issues, seasonality or a release, not a penalty.
What the business gets
a confirmed cause or an honest conclusion that “this is not a penalty” · a prioritized correction plan · a follow-up check after a correction stage · preparation of a search engine reconsideration request if needed.
