FAQs
How do I know if I have a manual action?
Go to Webmaster Tools and click on Search Traffic, then Manual Actions. You will be notified if you have a manual action there. If you see “No Manual Webspam Actions” then you are dealing with another problem.
How did I get this penalty?
We don’t always know why a site gets a manual review. It could have been reported by a competitor or a member of Google’s Webspam team reviewed your site and should be penalized.
Is it important to have it removed?
When you have a manual action, it means part or all of your site is being hidden from search. This means your traffic and rankings can be drastically affected. If this is the case, it is important to have it removed as soon as possible.
How long will it take to have it removed?
This can vary. It generally takes 4-6 weeks to complete the whole process. Once filed, it can take anywhere from three days to six weeks to hear a response. While we often succeed on our first try, it can take longer if we require multiple tries.
We do have expedited plans for those clients who are wanting to remove their penalty as quickly as possible.
How do you remove a manual action?
We follow these steps when removing a penalty:
- Make a thorough list of backlinks as gathered from ahrefs.com, majestic.com, opensiteexplorer.org, Webmaster Tools Sample, Webmaster Tools most recent and other sources. We also have a process that we use that helps us to find links that are not available on any of the backlink checkers. This helps us to get more penalties removed on our first try.
- Manually review at least one link from every domain linking to the site. The goal is to determine which links Google would like to see removed and try to keep as many good links as possible.
- Make thorough efforts to contact site owners to get links removed. We document this process thoroughly. We contact site owners through email addresses we can find on the site, whois email addresses and contact forms.
- Complete and file a disavow file. This file will be very thorough. The file contents are discussed with the site owner prior to filing.
- Write and file a reconsideration request.

Shear Comfort
Given my prior experience with SEO companies, I was half expecting some boilerplate recommendations and a heavy dosage of copying and pasting. This was clearly NOT the case! I can tell you put some serious heart, time, and effort into this thing. All the recommendations were unique and personalized.
Large e-Commerce Brand
We were having trouble ranking for even our branded terms and were about 2 months from killing the domain completely and starting over with a new site. With Marie’s help, we were able to regain almost all of our rankings and organic site traffic went from 300 sessions/day to over 2,300 sessions/day. I can’t say enough about how helpful she has been and very well might have saved our business. ”
