Recover the traffic you lost to a Google core update or manual action.
Google core update recovery, helpful content update recovery, spam update recovery, and manual action lift. Diagnostic audit, targeted remediation, and rebuild programme run by senior operators who have lived through every major update since 2020.
What we do
Recovery is a specific discipline, not more SEO.
When a Google core update, helpful content update, or spam update hits, ranking generic SEO harder rarely recovers the lost traffic. Recovery requires diagnostic audit against the specific update signals, targeted remediation of the underlying quality issues, and a rebuild programme that demonstrates renewed E-E-A-T and helpful-content compliance. We have led recovery programmes across dozens of UAE and international sites through every major Google update since 2020.
- Core update diagnostic audit
- Helpful content update recovery
- Spam update remediation
- Manual action reconsideration
- E-E-A-T rebuild programme
- Post-recovery monitoring

FAQs
Google Update Recovery, answered
How long does Google update recovery take?+
Diagnostic audit takes 2 to 3 weeks. Remediation execution takes 8 to 16 weeks depending on the scope of quality issues. Full traffic recovery typically appears in the next 1 to 2 Google core updates after remediation, so realistic timeline is 3 to 9 months from engagement start to fully recovered rankings.
Can every site recover from a Google update?+
No. Sites hit by a helpful content update because most of their content was AI-generated at scale, or sites hit by spam updates because of purchased links, sometimes cannot recover the original brand. In those cases, we honestly recommend rebuild rather than recovery.
Do you handle manual action reconsideration requests?+
Yes. Manual action diagnosis, remediation of the underlying issue, and preparation and submission of the reconsideration request. Google reconsideration success rate depends heavily on the quality of remediation evidence in the request; we prepare it properly.
What if we lost traffic but no update hit?+
Could be gradual algorithm drift, competitive movement, technical regression, or unnoticed content quality decline. We diagnose regardless of whether a named update is the trigger. Loss without a named update often turns out to be technical or crawl-related.
Do you work on already-penalised sites?+
Yes, including sites hit multiple times or by multiple updates. Cost is higher than clean sites because the remediation surface is larger and multiple compounding issues typically need untangling.
What is a realistic budget for Google update recovery?+
Recovery engagements typically start at AED 9,500 per month for standard remediation and scale with the scope of content, link, and technical remediation required. Enterprise recovery programmes involving hundreds of URLs run higher.
