A1 SEO helps you with efficient Google penalty recovery to get your website's performance back on the right track.

Using our Google penalty removal services will help you understand lost rankings, improve organic traffic, and optimise poor-quality content with link removal and copy edits.

A1 SEO is one of the leading penalty removal SEO agencies in the UK, with a focus on expert Google penalty removal and ranking well on search engines.

What is Penalty Removal?

Has your website suddenly dropped in search engine results? Are you experiencing a confusing reduction in organic traffic and sales? It’s likely your site has been hit with a Google penalty.

The Google algorithm is constantly being updated. With a regular algorithm change, it can be difficult to keep track of the rules, and your search rankings can drop unexpectedly. With a core update and algorithm change, more and more companies are facing algorithmic penalties, from hidden texts and spammy links to keyword stuffing. Google generally lets your webmaster know when it happens.

Google penalty removal is about identifying your Google penalty (manual penalties vs. algorithmic penalties) and checking for a manual action penalty or algorithm updates that may have caused the Google penalty. After this investigation, our Google penalty recovery services will complete an in-depth analysis.

Fixing the Google penalty depends on what kind of error it is. We will commence a correction procedure to remove any errors that would have caused the Google penalty and then submit a reconsideration request.

Importance of Penalty Removal

Google penalty removal isn’t just important; it’s a necessity in order to ensure your content meets Google’s guidelines and your website improves in rankings again.

With a Google penalty comes an immediate, unexpected drop in traffic and rankings. In extreme cases, your website could be removed from the Google Search Console completely! This can dramatically affect your sales and business reputation. With fast Google penalty removal services, you can limit the consequences of Google penalties and resume business as usual.

The longer a Google penalty recovery takes, the more potential customers you will lose to your competition. Our SEO penalty removal agency wants to prevent this at all costs, and we work hard to fix your reputation as quickly as possible with the extensive removal of low-quality links.

Additionally, when we evaluate websites with a comprehensive audit, we will teach you about the risks of black hat SEO techniques. This will ensure you avoid all future penalties by using best-practice techniques.

Our Penalty Removal Process

Steps

As your Google penalty recovery SEO agency, A1 SEO will first commence with research before taking manual action to fix your Google penalty. We identify whether you have an algorithmic or manual penalty, as your Google penalty recovery services will have different strategies depending on the kind of Google penalty you're stuck with.

Once our penalty removal SEO consulting team has identified the type of Google penalty on your hands, we come up with a strategy to remove those pesky Google penalties. We will explore any ranking issues, search for errors within your search console, and analyse any recent site changes that may have caused Google penalties.

Additionally, our penalty removal SEO company will investigate any recent updates in Google algorithmic penalties and commence with an audit of your website and content. Our penalty removal SEO services include a backlink profile fix, manual link penalty removals, content edits, and more for a full Google penalty recovery.

Once your penalty recovery SEO service is complete, we will request a review of your site and await results.

Your Client Journey with A1 SEO

1

Onboarding

As one of the leading penalty recovery SEO agencies, A1 SEO makes onboarding as efficient as possible so that we can solve your Google penalties sooner rather than later.

Once your contract is signed, we will begin our onboarding process. Before we start Google penalty removal, we will brief your business on your website's technical, on-page, and off-page audits and identify the type of penalty, whether it is an algorithmic or manual penalty.

As part of our penalty recovery SEO services, we will also create your own tailored reporting dashboard so you can have complete oversight of your SEO strategy's performance after a Google penalty.

At this stage, we also ask your business to fill out a couple of forms to help our internal teams put together a Google penalty removal strategy.

2

Strategy Call

After the onboarding stage, an A1 penalty removal SEO consultant will have spent a considerable amount of time familiarising themselves with your industry and brand using multiple sources. We'll reach out to arrange a deep dive call to go through our proposed strategy for the Google penalty removal of your site.

This allows you to offer us feedback so that we can tailor your strategy further to meet your SEO goals and act quickly to improve your website's visibility. We expect all of our clients to commit to regular catch-ups, ideally on a bi-weekly basis.

3

Niche Analysis

Armed with the knowledge gained from the onboarding process and our strategy call, our team of SEO experts will conduct an in-depth niche analysis, covering every topic and sub-topic within your industry and brand.

From here, we will create a master database containing each page of your website and what is required to provide users with quality link-based content and remove penalties.

4

Penalty Removal Strategy

While your granular website strategy is being devised, our team of in-house SEO experts will crawl through your Google Search Console account. We will find the biggest opportunities to achieve a clean backlink profile, remove duplicate content or low-quality copy, and improve the rankings in search results for your site.

We look for pages where earned links will move the needle in a big way, getting you the best possible ROI for your budget.

As one of the leading SEO agencies in the UK, our team has the ability to deliver scalable off-page SEO strategies from day 5 for our clients!

5

SEO Scale Up

In addition to removing the penalties from your site, we focus on SEO scale-up in a big way. We can publish new content and optimise older pieces of copy for your site to improve rankings and web traffic. We will also build a strong link profile for your website and ensure you will not receive any future penalties for your content. Our team also stays on top of the website's technical SEO for your company.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between a manual action penalty and a Google algorithmic penalty?

An algorithmic penalty occurs because your website has violated guidelines or has not followed best practices. When it comes to an algorithmic penalty, you will often find these two violations:

  • Penguin penalty: These Google penalties are caused by poor backlinking strategies, and irrelevant links and keywords. Penguin recovery usually includes removing bad links.
  • Panda penalty: This is when your website has content that is not valuable or original.

A manual penalty, on the other hand, is a lot more serious and has drastic consequences for your search rankings. In fact, your site could be entirely removed from Google's search engine results pages. Often, this means your website will require in-depth Google penalty removal services, as your site is likely in violation of Google's guidelines.

What causes Google penalties?

Google penalties are usually caused by these common errors on your website:

  • Irrelevant sites
  • User spam
  • Security breaches
  • Unstructured content
  • Auto-generated copy
  • Misleading copy
  • Low-quality content
  • Paid links
  • Keyword stuffing
  • Overwhelming pop-ups or ads
  • Cloaking
  • Suspicious backlink profile
  • Duplicate content

How long does it take to remove Google penalties?

This depends on the kind of Google penalty issue your website is suffering from. Manual penalties take a lot longer to remove than algorithmic ones do. Some minor fixes can take a few days or weeks, while very serious issues on your website can take months to fix. Reach out to A1 SEO to identify your penalties, and we'll start working on them as quickly as possible to fix your rankings.

How do I know if my website is penalised by Google?

If you're searching for a manual penalty, you can take a look at the Manual action box on your search console. If there are issues, an alert will be present. For an algorithm penalty, it's a bit more complicated. You'll have to consistently monitor your website's search rankings for any abnormalities with a tracking application. A1 SEO is well-equipped to identify both manual and algorithmic penalties for your site.
