Professional SEO Penalty Recovery That Actually Works

When your website gets penalized by Google, every day costs you money. While other agencies give up or offer generic advice, Skunk.Tech specializes exclusively in the complex world of SEO penalty recovery. We don't just understand penalties - we've built our entire business around fixing them.

Our SEO penalty recovery process has helped hundreds of websites recover from both manual and algorithmic penalties. With a 98% success rate referred by other SEO agencies, we handle the cases that others won't touch.

What Is an SEO Penalty and Why Should You Care?

An SEO penalty occurs when Google determines that your website violates their quality guidelines. This can happen through manual review by Google's quality team or automatically through algorithm updates. The result? Your website's rankings plummet, traffic disappears, and revenue drops.

Types of SEO Penalties We Recover From:

  • Manual Penalties: Direct action by Google's webspam team
  • Algorithmic Penalties: Automatic penalties from algorithm updates
  • Partial Penalties: Specific pages or sections affected
  • Site-wide Penalties: Entire domain impacted
  • Link-based Penalties: Toxic backlink profiles
  • Content-based Penalties: Thin, duplicate, or low-quality content

Frequently Asked Questions About SEO Penalty Recovery

How do I know if my website has been penalized?

Common signs include sudden ranking drops, traffic loss coinciding with algorithm updates, manual action notifications in Google Search Console, or rankings disappearing entirely for branded searches.

Can you guarantee penalty recovery?

While we have a 98% success rate, we cannot guarantee recovery in every case. Some penalties result from fundamental business model issues that require significant changes. We provide honest assessments of recovery likelihood during our initial consultation.

How much does SEO penalty recovery cost?

Costs vary based on penalty severity, website size, and complexity. We provide detailed quotes after our initial penalty diagnosis. Most clients find our fees are quickly recovered through restored traffic and revenue.

What if my penalty recovery fails?

In rare cases where initial recovery attempts fail, we reassess the situation and develop alternative strategies. Our commitment is to exhaust all viable recovery options before considering a case unrecoverable.

Do you work directly with website owners?

We prefer to work through your existing SEO agency, but we do accept direct clients when no agency relationship exists. Having an ongoing SEO partner helps ensure long-term success after penalty recovery.
