A Google penalty is not a simple slap on the wrist. It can have devastating effects on your brand. Lost search engine visibility. Lost traffic. Lost conversions. Lost revenue. Lost opportunity. Recovering can be a long, painful journey - and some brands do not regain their former standing and suffer long-term consequences to their financial position and their reputation. Preventing penalties is always preferable but what do you do if you’re on the wrong side of Google? Reposition can put you back on track.
We get to work analysing the issues that resulted in a loss of performance. Once identified, our team attacks the problem and brings your website into Google compliance.
Regaining lost visibility and traffic is essential; depending on the nature of the penalty, we solve the problem at its roots rather than just treating the symptoms. Get back where you belong.
Expertise, Authority, Trust
Google continually updates and improves its algorithms in order to deliver the most targeted, relevant, and high quality results to its users. In some cases, a “penalty” may not be a penalty at all but rather a case of the algorithm shifting. Panda and Penguin are two of the most fundamental updates in recent memory, and many sites found themselves disappearing from the search engine results. If your site is a side effect of an algorithm update, we can help by:
Manual Penalties
In other cases, your site may have been issued a manual penalty. This is a human-issued review that indicates your site does not meet Google quality standards. In this case, Reposition will:
Google makes tweaks and changes to its search algorithm some 500-600 times each year. Most of these are small and have negligible impact on websites. And then there are the major updates, like Panda, Penguin, and Hummingbird. These can send ripple effects throughout the SEO and online world. You may see a change in ranking, and the resulting loss in traffic and visibility, from an algorithm change. This does not mean that you did anything wrong. It means, though, that you need to take some proactive steps to get “right” with Google.
A manual penalty is different. Google also conducts human “inspections” that review and rate websites. They may issue a penalty if your site has engaged in practices that do not meet their quality standards, such as cloaking, keyword stuffing, spam, low value content, and unnatural links. This does not necessarily indicate that you did anything wrong – it does signal that it is time for a new SEO partner and/or web development team. Reposition has extensive experience in recovery from manual penalties and is ready to deploy effective tactics to regain your standing. >
